In the two months since I started paying attention to ebooks, I have gone from making Amazon my first stop in buying new or used books, to the last place I go if I just can't find a book somewhere else.
Amazon's behavior has been the primary factor in leading me to the conclusion that pirating ebooks which are not generally available in multiple formats is not wrong. They are using the copyright laws to drive out competition, when the reason for those laws was to protect competition.
