@murraypaul, I was just referencing the number of posts where Apple's DRM is specifically stated as the reason - or as one of several reasons.
The point I was trying to make is that tightening DRM (e.g, building an "unbreakable" DRM) would, IMHO, hurt ANY publisher of eBooks - even mighty Amazon. And as "evidence" (in quotes, because it is only anecdotal, after all), I'm citing the number of posts I've seen (including my own) where people specifically cite the Fairplay DRM as the reason they avoid Apple's bookstore.
To be honest, this is only my gut feeling - I've not seen any research into what would happen if Amazon's DRM were tightened up - I know that
I would seek other booksellers, but I am only one buyer. My sense is that I would not be alone.
Thanks,
