In fairness, the Kindle is rather similar to Apple in that regard. Both the Kindle and the iPod allow you to buy DRM content from only one source (Amazon in the Kindle's case, iTunes in Apple's case), but upload non-DRM content from other sources. You can upload non-DRM content to the Kindle from a PC via USB.

b) insist on bringing ALL devices to the US market and NON to any other market - what is the sense in this? Okay, there is none. It is just braindead stupid.

It does rather amaze me how many companies seem to overlook the fact that the EU is a considerably larger market than the US

I wouldn't like to see them fail, but I certainly don't think they've gone about this in the right way at all.
