Well, I don't really like the Kindle. It started with no support for Cyrillic characters and continued with the lack of support for fb2 files.
The first problem should be over now and the second I could sidestep by Calibre or something else, but the feeling still lingers somewhere, that Amazon doesn't really want to sell me their reader.
I also hope I haven't spread the bitterness too much in other forums, I actually avoid the Kindle one.
And to be perfectly honest, whit this price and the new display, if something was to happen to my reader I would probably buy a Kindle, just like I left over $100 yesterday while shopping at Amazon

Edit: I forgot the most important part - very good rant, wvcherrybomb!!
