The battery is the thing that bugs me and it isn't 100 percent rational on my part. But if I spent 140 bucks on a Kindle I'd expect to have it (or at least be able to have it if I choose to) for at least 5 years. And the thought I'd have to send it back when the battery dies seems kinda crazy. It was theoretically the same with the K2, but realistically you could change your own. Not with the 3.
They seem to be looking for subscribers who'll buy books and every few years upgrade their device.
I'd like to simply buy a reader and have no further ties required beyond the warranty.
But I think there is a very good chance I'll get the Kindle and end up one of the worst customers they've had: spending somewhere between 0 and 25 dollars on content from them while I own it.
