Authors are pissed as hell.
The app no longer includes an integrated bookstore. People are still free to sideload their books to this reader app, and proceed to do whatever damn stupid things they want, because that (stupidity) is a fundamental right.

There was a company that tried to do this with movies also. They were also shot down on copyright laws. Personally I think it's kind of silly (since it really doesn't work), but I applaud the parent's attempt to protect their children. At least their heart was/is in the right place.
