I wasn't totally comfortable with that part of my post and think you make a good point. It is better to avoid resentment of rich people who price their products far above cost. If I can revise my point there: Apple is not a force for evil. But if you can't help resenting at least one such firm, Apple is, in the eBook-related realm, the least-bad choice.
