My thoughts, exactly. The ability to annotate books is really great, and a much-loved feature on my PDA reader (and much-missed on my Sony 505), but there has *got* to be a more attractive way to implement that keyboard. Your cry of conspiracy seems a bit steep, I can't imagine Amazon would waste this kind of money to prove a point.
Bezos has been known to exaggerate the importance of his pet projects, remember the hype he created for the Segway?
