If someone already owns a Kindle with Whispersync, I don’t understand why they would purchase their locked down content in iBooks as opposed to downloading the kindle app and transferring all of their kindle content seamlessly.
Given the choice, why would I want to download bookcontent to soley the iPad, when I can download the book to my kindle app on the iPad and read the book at home on my iPad, on my iPhone on the bus to work, and on my computer at work and everytime i opened the app in a different place my location was autosynced?
