Well, apparently, part of the reason Carnoy agreed to censor himself is because he's a big believer in ebooks. Good on him. I'd like to think I would've told Apple to go to hell if I were in his place, but that's easy for me to say. If I were actually trying to push a book, I wouldn't put it beneath me to kiss some asses (and then gargle afterwards).
Can anyone give an example of a song that iTunes sells with "objectionable content" in it? Just one is all it takes for Apple to look even sillier over this case.

"I decided to censor because it wasn't that big a deal. I changed it very little. It's more important to have people check the book out--along with the whole concept of ebooks on the iPhone. It's kind of virgin territory now, but it's going to be really big soon," Carnoy said in an e-mail.
