That is the lamest answer ever to serious allegations. By saying this you mean that Amazon is actively encouraging people to lie and cheat. The 1-6 are clearly the truth. Thanks for helping me take my decision!

Thanks, daffy4u. Excellent site with information, and corrections to all of the misinformation, out there about the K2.

Here's a new one, I think
Posted recently on an Irish forum by one of the forum mods.
"going through security in Atlanta, my sony e-reader was flagged by a TSA guy who then proceeded to bitch about how his Kindle removed books after 90 days. Is that true?" |

Myth: Jeff Bezos invented or inspired the idea for a mobile eReader, namely the Kindle.
Truth: Steve Jobs was the inventor or the first eReader, which he named the iPod. Then, as his eyesight grew worse, he invented the iPad, iPoh's bigger brother. Like Stalin before him, Jobs will eradicate the history books of any references to Kindle, Flash, Windows, etc. From a sneak preview of the forthcoming tome, "The World According to Jobs". |

In answer: No. The Kindle does not delete books. There is a deletion of some periodicals, but you can flag them to not be deleted if you want.

Now that we have the International DX available, can someone, please, clarify the status of the "true" myths?
As in, is it true that I have to pay Kindle some amount to put my own books on the device? (I know I can use Calibre to convert to Kindle friendly formats but for some reason I have this idea that Amazon is staring down at you like big brother!) This remains the only (major) concern on my way to buying the latest Kindle DX. Nice thread! |
