I agree the bulk of the site should be dedicated to ebook readers and ebooks. But if we are going to limit it to that then throw out the lounge and other "chat" forums and topics as well. If you start restricting by category soon they will come for you.
Topics like DRM, global restrictions, book banning, etc. Are inherently part of this forums reach.

But what does Health Care Reform, Global Warming, and the US's various wars have to do with ebooks?

I personally can see a discussion of books, to be within the boundaries of this forums discussions, but not ancillary controversial, non ebook political discussions, which is where most of the problem stems from.
