A reasonable expectation? Now there's a phrase laden with certainty. Can you quote any legal decisions as to what would constitute "a reasonable expectation" when it comes to ebook availability?

I'm pretty certain that those who purchased Microsoft .lit format ebooks are getting a chuckle out of your statements. Heck, those who purchased books from any of the ebook stores that are no longer in existence will join in the laughter.
