Darn right. It seems that Apple got so many complaints about its puritanical refusal to accept the Eucalyptus app for the iPhone (because some of the books out there are *gasp* dirty!), that they’ve finally backed down and accepted it after all. The Macworld website reports on this in its article, Apple changes its mind, [...] This has nothing to do with books, but see? I’ve got a category for that, so it’s okay. Ha!

Considering that almost everyone in the [...] I don’t know why the latest releases of J.R.R. Tolkien writings really make me uneasy. Or rather, I do — I feel a bit exploited.
