Yes. It's Apple trying to lock the user into their products. I hate it. I had used my iPad for several years to read the thousands of eBooks I have on my hard drive. But now, nada!!
Enter the Kindle. I always thought they were a bit too "twee" and avoided going down that path but this latest ITunes/IPAd thing has tipped me right over the edge. I use a program called Calibre to manage my books and it downloads to my Kindle in much the same way it used to DL to my IPAd.
I use the iPad now to run my planetarium software, check the news and emails and not much else.
Damn you Apple!!
