With the memory leak example, people might blame the reader software for a problem that would not have happened without the other applications being used. So there are benefits in limiting a device to performing one function (or one set of functions) well.

again, people who don't want to take such risk don't have to download anything. how many times do i have to repeat that downloading applications is optional. i don't understand in which part of the word OPTIONAL am i not being clear. if people blame kindle for their stupidity then there is nothing that I can do. how about I drop my device into a bathtub and blame kindle about it? exactly same thing. your argument against introducing applications because they might be faulty simply doesn't hold. sorry. im finished discussion this subject here because you don't seem to understand the definition of the word optional and you simply argue in circles. good luck with your e-reader.
