I'm not sure how that is a problem for you. Nobody is forcing you to spend on the Amazon books. It's not an either/or situation. Simply continue on shopping only from the Publisher produced books as you have been.

The new Fire will be $159, looks much like the old one according to Engadget.
But there is also a new Fire HD, with a 8.9" 1900x1200 screen. |

This has me wanting to jump ship into the walled garden... Particularly because I can't get UK versions of books at BN currently...
Where's the stupid Pre-Order button? |

I've closed most of the feeds and sticking to The Verge. They seem to be posting all the screen shots. This was worth losing an hour of sleep.
