You may be unable to see the difference between an, hopefully, informed choice and being forced to take Hobson's choice.
Nice that mommy decides to remove even a Hobson's choice.

So the choice is if you want to borrow ebooks from a library (in one of those countries), your only choice is a epub ereader? Isn't that a Hobson's choice?
