Actually, I agree with that Marcy. They should only need to register and/or login if they're going to buy something. EZread does it only because the publishers force them to. If they don't have a high enough registered user number, then they're unlikely to get titles from certain publishers. Honestly, I think that's a retarded idea by the publishers, but at the same time I understand their reasoning, that being that if a site doesn't have a high enough user base, they're not worth spending time, money and energy on. It also shuts out the little mom and pop sites which a lot of people like, but aren't as easy to control as the big sites.

So in short it comes down to money and power.
