Sorry - I really don't see what the problem is with this. I can read it with the proprietory reader it needs - that's exactly what I bought it for. I don't
want to do anything else with it.
Perhaps the difference between our viewpoints is that I don't regard an eBook as a "lifetime investment". It's a few hours of entertainment that I paid a few $ for, and that's how I regard it. I don't expect to be able to read it in 20 years time, and more than I expect to be able to read a paperback I buy today in 20 years time. If I want to re-read it in 20 years, I'll buy another copy then. Books are cheap!
