I don't like ebooks, but I have a few just in case I need to travel on short notice. I downloaded free (public domain) works from amazon directly to my iPad using the Kindle app, and I can watch Amazon Prime movies purchased through the Amazon Prime app.
I hate computing with Apple (Macs), but that's because I'm a control freak and I want to be able to do all the things that Windows lets you do on your own but Mac tries to keep "behind the curtain". When it comes to tablets, MP3 players and phones, I prefer Apple, hands down. Plus, because of the way it works, I pay once and get the same app on my iPad, my iPhone and up to 3 more mobile devices.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Because you're then locked into the Amazon ecosystem.

As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service

If they're based outside of US, that would be relevant to mention in the post.
