If you don't like something, don't buy it. If you don't give them money, maybe they will change their ways. Long as they are getting your money, they don't care what you think.
Oh absolutely, I couldn't agree with you more.

The main problem with this is that there are NO alternatives to ePub's. On the contrary, all other alternatives have been pushed out of the market. We now have an oligopoly of 5 sellers (Amazon, B&N, Kobo, iBooks and Google). Each with their own hardware, software suite and DRM.

I would LOVE a format that allows you to buy/loan a book from a vendor and just read it, but the vendors are simply not wanting to accept it.

Here is a great summary of my opinion, written over 4 years ago. It has gotten even worse since...
