You don't see any parallels between that situation and the current situation?

You know what the difference is? Now they manufacture tablets. Do you think that if they were making tablets before they added downloading to e-ink devices they would have added it, or they would have just said 'if you want to download to your device buy our tablet'?
So why haven't they removed that feature from ereaders already?
