With the latter I am independent of the computer.
And it is simply not possible to read a kfx book on a Kobo, or a kepub on a Kindle.
In some countries you need illegal and definitely violating the terms and conditions conversions and a computer for that.
My question to Kobo and Kindle advertisers: are they paid for advertising, or are they so simple-minded to fall for such simple business models.

And embezzlement is a criminal act.

Thus "defamation" is not applicable.
Yes it does. One of your first posts in this discussion, as quoted above with added emphasis, is clearly defamation. Your constant statements that people are thieves could easily be taken as defamation as well.

And I have no idea why you mention "embezzlement". Yes, it is a criminal act, but, nothing discussed here fits under that term. Do you care to explain this?
