Replacing Amazon as gatekeeper with Apple is something of a frying-pan-to-fire move. Amazon's device really only does e-books; most people depend on Apple devices for an awful lot more, and consequently losing access to your Apple device would be vastly more painful.
- gurkendoktor 14y agoWhere is Apple the gatekeeper? I couldn't care less about the iBookstore, but I love iBooks - I can drop any PDF or epub from the internet on iTunes and it'll be on my iPad after the next sync. If anything, Apple has the advantage that an iTunes library is dead-easy to back up. Android tablet, iPad, PlayBook- they'll all do the trick.
