In a world where there are thousands of Geocities-quality electronic books being published, Apple decided to take a stand. Some people don't like it, some will be thankful that their books are actually *readable* now, and the rest of us don't give a damn.

Geocities! Comic Sans!

But seriously, that FOSSLC site has some of the worst examples of spite and snark I've ever come across. Don't take anything they say seriously. Just remember roll your eyes as you say, "oh, you guys! lawl!" (with a dismissive wave of the hand, of course).
