Proprietary Delivery Devices


On the front page the master, JMM, asks whether the polloi would like to receive their momentary doses of TPM on Kindles and iPhones.  He doesn't provide a feedback device, but I assume he wants feedback on the qt via email.  I am not good at feedback on the qt.

I have noticed a decided preference for proprietary devices in these sorts of queries around here.  Kindles are noted for two things at the moment... They only work with Amazon approved book formats and, so it seems, Amazon can actually invade your device and steal back your book.  While iPhone hasn't that bad a reputation, it is, again, a proprietary device delivering the goods in proprietary format.

Let's assume the intention is good (get the message out in more forms of the media).  Please stop being so upper-middle-class/hooked-on-proprietary-goods.  Its offensive.

Thank you.
