I think the word is apt in the context of employer-employee or employer-employer relationships involving ownership claims.

Please stop spreading misinformation. Your assertion has no grounds on reality.

One thing that I prefer about DDG is that it doesn't try to guess what language I want to search in other than by my input. It is ridiculous that google forces me to go through worse results based solely on my location, it shouldn't matter where you are from.

Some of the exclusive features of printed books may be relevant for learning, perhaps the tactile sensation or the role that books still have in our culture.

A sound argument is that ebooks provide less spatial landmarks, this kind of context seems to be important for increased retention. See: http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/14/do-e-books-impair-memo...

In this usability research (http://www.nngroup.com/articles/ipad-and-kindle-reading-spee...) they found that ebook reading was slower than print for both the kindle and Ipad, however they weren't able to differentiate those two.
