Enough with you saying you can't "do anything with book but buy from

I have already gone out of my way to demonstrate that people can get
who knows how many tens of thousands of eBooks from other sources in
the world than "buy from the company store." And these were FREE!!!
Not just not from Apple's pile of eBooks, from also from others, not
even for sale, so you were, and still are, wrong on both counts.
"Buy" and "Company Store"
You sound like nothing more than a shrill shill, given shillings for
ranting and raving against Apple and the iPad.
Please. . .be quiet until you have really done your homework.
Stop, in heaven's name pretending that you did your homework when it
is obvious to all concerned that you haven't.
"My dog ate my homework, so I don't have it," would sound better.
You make us all look bad when you talk like this. . . .
Please stop. . . .
