Actually, I did expect that. Before I bought my K3, I was well aware of this web page:

Kindle Development Kit Frequently Asked Questions . . .
2. I’ve already built a Java Micro Edition (J2ME) application. Can I port it to Kindle?
Yes. You should be able to modify existing Java applets and J2ME software to run on Kindle.

The device is a small portable computer. Yes, the same can be said about a GPS, but there is more of an expectation, because of the above-mentioned Development Kit, that the Kindle is multi-purpose. Of course, it will be up to each of us whether we buy additional software. Personally, I am not interested in games, but would consider a well-reviewed genealogy program.
