oops, just read a couple of posts mentioning that the screen was different on the kindle. Should really remember that not everything you read on the interwebs is true
I still don't really understand why you're so annoyed by the Kindle/Amazon astra.
I can understand the DRM thing. Music and books are something that should remain open and I really hope that at some point a universal format is adopted. There's no way I want to have to buy a different reader to read certain books (as you would to play video games). And I hate the idea of one monopoly winning out (as with microsoft). It's just to much of a pain converting everything or settling for a slightly different (and normally worse) version that's compatible.
But I can see where amazon are coming from - this is still a small and uncertain market. Let's just hope they start heading in the right direction.
