In theory, I agree with you. In practice, I think the publishers are screwing up big time. Remember, it should be in the interest of the publishers to make customers happy. It was the publishers with the vendors who agreed to go hand-in-hand with Sony to bring e-books to the German market. To blame it on a bad software implementation just doesn't do it.
