Well, the fact that you are on this forum makes you atypical. The stereotype is safe . See, that's how stereotype works. If you fit it, you prove it, if you don't you're the exception that also proves it. Convenient, huh?

Back to the original question. I was concerned about being locked in for a long time, but turned out what I was really concerned was having to pay $400, then $300, etc. To be locked in. When the price dropped to $140, my concern was allayed :-)

But seriously, my beef with Amazon is they not only locked me in, but they locked me in an inferior format nobody else uses . I still hold out hope they will support ePub some day, just so they can say kindle now reads library books like the Other National Leading Brands.
