YES. Ebooks are a great idea, but definitely not in the way currently implemented. I hate the idea that XYZ Corp., can start streaming ads into my books or have detailed analytics of which lines I read&#x2F;skipped&#x2F;copied&#x2F;researched just because I bought it from them. It&#x27;s really convenient: they control the format, hence they control the software to (legally) read it, hence that software can behave pretty much any way it likes!<p>It&#x27;s even further horrible when you consider a future when books will only be available in one format, that too by XYZ Megacorp ONLY. I don&#x27;t want the world I inhabit waltzing into that future. Thank GNU that GNU exists.
