So that still gives Amazon control with the ability to open their eBooks to more people.
You can still download to a computer, so long as you own and iPhone. I think that Apple and Amazon got together on this and made some sort of agreement. That is why it is on an Apple. I can't believe Amazon did this in a vacuum. Not being able to beam this to someone on the subway is an added benefit to them.
