Some ipad users and ipad mini users tell me that "books really a side line business for apple thus they do not tend to get the best deals on some books and we often pay more for books than others do becuase apple does this as a sideline business." That's apple users talking there not my words.

I've never bought an ebook from Apple, lol ... my wife did one time, and I was pissed (in a figurative sense, of course). That same book I had it already via Kindle. It was just a matter of download Kindle app for her and read.
One of the things that I like from Kindle for iOs is that the application allows me to read landscape mode without splitting the screen. I read computer books, so diving the screen like that makes the code hard to read. Apple's default reader doesn't allow me that.
I will also confess that I'm getting tired of "disinfecting " books. I started to think about this and the time and effort I was putting on that. By two years, my computer books will be obsolete, unless is a classic book. So even if I loss access or can't use it anymore, won't be a big deal. Now, that's not the same for fiction books, but I just have a few of them.
