So then someone feeling displeased in some way that Rakuten potentially pulling Kindle books from Overdrive in the US would be an uninformed opinion?
It's not like we have any insight whatsoever into the minds at Rakuten to be throwing around such high-strung righteousness (a hilarious overreaction on a remarkably trivial topic to most of us here). We have no idea what Rakuten do or do not value, so that high horse of "reality" you ride so proudly seems to be a mighty short horse.
