I may be part of the vocal minority but this windowing scenario is one that I am more than happy to accept. What I won't accept is paying $27.95+ for a digital DRM version of the same title.
Especially considering after B/N member discount said title is no more than $20. Above all else, I refuse to pay more for a digital version than a hardcover, like some houses have tried to pull.
I've personally boycotted Bantam/Spectra ever since the Terry Brooks fiasco.
But, that was back when Sony was still making LRF's. And Genesis... was $29.95 digital and $17.95 dead tree.
