> Apple doesn't have an obligation to sell anything and everything. It's their store. They choosing to not sell something isn't "bad" -- users of Apple devices can still read whatever they want. Apple has that right. And potential Apple customers has the right to say that they will not stand control freakery like that in their store. Apple has backed down before. Like when they tried to force everybody to use Objective-C/C++ to make iOS apps. > Acting indignant like Apple has some mandate to sell anything that anyone wants is ridiculous. If you were Coca-Cola, would you let people sell Pepsi from your machines? Of course not. Is Coke bad for choosing not to sell Pepsi? Want Pepsi? Go to a Pepsi machine. If they want to be a general book seller, they should know they will get questioned every time they refuse to carry a book due to its content. There is no way to avoid that. > Put the pitchforks away -- this isn't that big of a deal. Thousands of writers sell through the iBookstore without any problems. This lady's story is an outlier in an otherwise pleasant place. What is the problem, do you think it will become a less pleasant place just from people raising questions about their policies? Why does that prospect bother you so?
