If the AG follows through with legal action, you bet this is cause for boycott. Consumers are losing nearly all of the rights they had in the paper to digital switch. We can't resell, trade, or even give away books to friends. At some point, we need to say "no more". The Kindle is one the verge of truly bringing ebooks into the mainstream, then there is no going back.

The only way to achieve the type of control they want is via massive DRM. Publishers should be very wary. There is a point where content becomes so restricted and difficult to use that it encourages more piracy than it prevents... look at the MPAA and RIAA.

This is about our rights, not Amazon selling audio books.
