While I deplore added restrictions on a book's availability, the sheer stupid ineptitude - I can't even think of a word strong enough to describe their ignorance level - of publishers in regards to ebook publication leads me to conclude that the ONLY way to get their attention is through their pocket-book. If not a readers' boycott -- then an authors' boycott - of their alleged services.

You;d love that because you do have a Kindle. But for the rest of us, it's unfair. Do you really want to see the eBook market even more splintered then it already is?
