I agree but had to laugh because Microsoft negotiated with Henry for nearly a year. They cursed him but paid-up and licensed exclusively for 15+ years

Agreed, though that was EPG. We are talking about ebook here.

After some thought, I can think of one valid reason that Henry wants to keep the server technology close. That is to have the security ebook offers. This will not do much for the sales of ebooks for crossing the chasm, but it does pacify people regarding intellectual property.
