Does anyone here remember how Amazon screwed lots and lots of people when they decided to stop selling eBooks and people could no longer download them when they needed to update the DRM on the legally purchased eBooks?
Well, Amazon sold eBooks before the Kindle and when they stopped selling them, people who had bought from Amazon could no longer download them again when they upgraded their systems and need a new copy. Amazon screwed lots of people. Since Amazon has a piss-poor track record with eBooks, why are people falling for Amazon and eBooks yet again? If Amazon had insisted that all the eBooks be DRM free back then, then nobody would have been screwed over. Now Amazon is a player in the DRM wars and a player on the enemy's side. So really, why buy a Kindle and then buy eBooks from Amazon when we know history can and often has a way of repeating?
