Why is anyone fighting this? And the beauty is, amazon will still make a boatload off selling books on the iPad and iPhone, and Kindle prices will continue to drop. I leave near the beach and I can tell you the iPad shortfall is 1) who wants to take a $600 water-and-sand averse toy to a beach 2) major glare factor. But if you got a $99 kindle on the side....that syncs your last read page... You nailed it! Why is anyone fighting this?

Kindle books are tied to the Kindle ecosystem. The great thing about the iPad, though is that the Kindle App will let me read my Kindle books on the iPad. It's a device that will allow other publishing systems to compete with it's own. Having purchased several Kindle books, one major issue for me is the lock in due to DRM.
