Honestly I think its all a bit greedy and low-down.
Is it not enough that I bought the damned hardware?
It was not cheap.
It was certainly not like buying a printer - where its set at a low price because they mainly want you to buy the cartridges.
I think its bad faith to have such a casual attitude about how the interface handles sideloaded books, when they know very well that's a major reason people buy, and for some the main reason.
I deeply question your notion that it's just fine for companies to try to force the consumer into buying their products by - in essence - providing a substandard service in one area.
Let's see if someone comes into the market with a device well-suited to putting your own books on it. It seems people like Boox, and even Remarkable might do this. Let the MARKET punish this lack of care for the customer.
If I'm not the first person to complain - GOOD. Maybe they will listen. Or pay the price like MySpace.
All that stuff challenging me to not buy the next device etc is just nonsense and you know it. I will adapt to whatever is rational and ethical for me to do.
