We know that isn't true. (As you can download from other sources. Just not wirelessly). But I think that many Kindle owners may believe that to be the case.

Unless you have a deal with the publishing companies as Apple seems to. Thanks agency pricing.
BenLee may end up being right in the short term.
I think that a new higher contrast screen is coming out soon. Sony dropped the PRS-600 by $100. Others will too. A short term deal would get rid of the old screens.
Amazon is the only one likely to accomplish such a deal.
