What I can't fathom are crowd-dependent populists who pretend they're activists.
No one cares who likes or doesn't like Apple or Amazon. It doesn't matter how many people think either company or their special format is swell. You're not talking about a platform, you're yelling at your parents. Meanwhile, Amazon tablets pump ads in people's faces and harass us to play in their store. Every news article points this out, even the ones that favor the Kindle Fire. If that's what you and your vast Amazon posse like, sobeit. But a lot of us have specific uses for software and environments which the majority will never have despite the popularity of either platform.
Really, do I show up on Kindle Fire forums and pollute every thread with the same sophmoric statements? Mobile Read should have a Pointless Argument Forum so that people like yourself can have tough-offs with others who live to advocate their favorite hardware companies.
Meanwhile, Apple, Google and Amazon aren't paying any of us. It all comes down to individual use and function.
