I appreciate everyone's opinion. I completely believe in free speech, and the right someone has to say what they wish. And I, of course, have no problem with Sony or anyone else selling the book in their respective stores.
But Mr. Dawkins has said some very inflammatory things towards people of faith. My personal opinion is that it was a poor and curious choice for the 9 or so excerpts available on the Reader.
Regarding Zelda's comments, the Left Behind series is not attacking a particular group, although it may not be a good "general" choice for the Reader, even though they were #1 bestsellers. Mein Kampf is a very extreme example of how a book defames a particular group, and would be an unacceptable choice for preloaded content on a Reader. To a much lesser degree, Mr. Dawkins is going after people of faith.
All I am saying is that it offended me (obviously not everyone), and I would have hoped that Sony could have chosen more topic neutral choices for their excerpts. That's all. People can have the freedom to buy the book all day long, anywhere that sells it. I just thought it was a poor choice to preload on the Reader IMHO. I certainly respect that others have differing opinions.
I appreciate everyone's comments.
