How can it be sneaky if those facts are in most of the articles and reviews about the Kindle?

Nate, "My life truly began at 11:31am on 20 November 2007." That's a serious statement and I assume it's when you got your Kindle. It's really that good?

It's mostly meant as a joke. I'm still on the "New Gadget" high. Ask me in a month. By that time I can usually admit to myself the flaws in the new device.

Yeah, there is also the USB->Kindle tranfser interface, the free.kindle.com conversion service, and the restore service (recover your books and notations). But mentioning those wouldn't help him frame his argument.

I think pixie makes an important point. Maybe it's not sneaky because they never promised free internet for life but until I read this quote from them I did assume that. I am sure many others did. If they are going to start charging an undetermined amount for Internet access very soon then that makes the $400 price a little more difficult to swallow. I say this having already swallowed it though :P
