> But it genuinely was a feature that made me choose to buy e-books on Apple’s platform instead of anyone else’s — and given how same-y most book stores and reading apps are in the broad strokes, it really is the details that get you locked into an ecosystem.

If I buy an Android tablet, a non-Apple computer, or some other device that hasn't been invented yet, I don't want to be locked out of my prior purchases.
