And I sincerely hope the thread title was being sarcastic/ironic as the last thing we need is more exclusives tying any work to one ereader format...
OK... just noticed <tongue in cheek> |

Yeah, saw the title and was like "WTF? How is that good news, let alone great?". Really a shame that they're Kindle exclusive, because I would want to get them otherwise.

Way to go Amazon. You've just taken more eBooks and basically, closed them off to most of the world.

...or a Windows PC, or a Mac, or an iPad, or an iPhone, or a Blackberry, or an Android phone, or a Windows phone...
Yep, I guess if you don't have a Kindle you're totally and utterly excluded from reading those books by Einstein. |

You've got a device that doesn't make use of Whispernet, well then you still pay for it on the odd change that you will sometime in the forseeable future own a Kindle that uses the magic Whispernet, ust wait and see and pay now for the privilege! |
