Why should we spread misinformation? MS's reader is just as restrictive
and just as flawed as Adobe's offering.

Perhaps a better line would be "Why an open format would be a better
choice for eBooks", the advantages being: cheaper, greater target
audience,  fewer complaints from dissatisfied readers, among others.
We should point out that all security claims made be the vendors
of reader software are purely imaginary.
