What are you replacing them with?

  I was already splitting my ebook purchasing between the Apple bookstore and Amazon. From this point, ebook purchases will be through Apple or a purchase of the real book. I kinda miss the feel of a real book too so that's a nice change. If I need a digital copy, and it's Amazon exclusive, then I'll be using "other sources".

    Out of curiosity (I haven't purchased ebooks from either source), what makes Apple more reliable than Amazon?
    • codewright 14y ago
      I'm a little dubious too, but Amazon has a track record of doing things like this (The Animal Farm/1984 fiasco), whereas Apple seems to respect that they've sold their customer something.

      They have yet to pull a stunt like this. As far as I'm aware, they are unable to remotely modify Apple devices. Until proven otherwise, I trust them.
