Get real. It’s not called Digital Rights Management for nothing. You enter your CC to authenticate the book. That is how YOU own the book not someone else and its a heck of a better system then Microsoft has.
I realize that. I also realize the fact that credit cards are for spending money, not identifying people.
1. Airports use credit cards to identify people. I swipe it all of the time at the checkin kiosks.

2. eReader gets your credit card when you buy stuff. If you never do any business with them and only want the freebies, I think your concerns are falling on deaf ears. If, on the other hand, it gets you to open an account with them, you both win. You got some free books and eReader got a new potential customer.

It amazes me how much people can complain over free things. :roll:
