Interesting that I am receiving downvotes for this comment (although there seem to be some upvotes as well).

It isn't a bash against Apple - I would have the same concerns if it was Amazon or Google, if there was DRM and/or device lock-in.

And I think ebooks could be very good for students - however, limiting it with DRM and device lock-in is not how it should be done.



Do you think someone here really considers vendor lock in a positive thing?


No, but I think some may be indifferent to it.


Doesn't seem indifferent to me. Looks more like cognitive dissonance, when people just pretend that something they don't like to accept doesn't exist. And when you point out the exact problem they only get more upset.
