There is the rub. You might not. However....
1) The argument that a contoled device is a safe and easy to use device works with more people than you might believe.
2)There is the cool device factor. With enough advertising it is posible to convince many that it is better to be posh than a pirate. And guess what? If you are taking a cut of the profits for every ebook that loads you can afford a lot of advertising.
