But every gas station sells every type of gas so unless I'm driving something really experimental I can pull into any station and be pretty sure I'm going to be able to fuel up. Well I just pulled into "The worlds largest ebook store" and was unable to fill up????

I'm not demanding anything I'm just saying if I own a business I would try to figure out what my customers want and then make it as easy as possible for my customers to use my product. Actually turning away potential customers would be a big red flag to me that I could be doing something a lot better. The world may not be arranged for my convenience but the store owner who makes it more convenient is the on that is going to get my money.

Am I just a really bad writer or am I not making sense?
