Great, Amazon having access to all the stuff (apart from MP3's) I want on MY Kindle.
It gets worse, the device sends home all sorts of information about your use of your Kindle.
Some aspects of the Kindle are great, but the above will prevent me from getting one.

I am surprised anyone thinks this device has a chance. Remember the Rocketbook and the Reb? Yeah, use your (INCLUDED) telephone cable to hook your reader up to ANY TELEPHONE and download content! After paying outrageously for it, of course.
Never mind that people seemed to be most concerned with getting their own content onto the reader with few hassles.
This is just Rocketbook Mk2, and it will crash and burn as well. DRM and the silly Amazon monitoring will kill it, if its ugliness does not kill it first. Amazon's previous forays into e-books have been much less than successful, and I don't expect this one to be much different, only more costly.
