No, not disappointed, actually rather encouraged. In fact, you might have gone some way towards restoring my faith in humanity. It's been at a low ebb, recently. It will certainly be very interesting watching Google's moves and it would be quite exciting if they were to team up with Sony. Interesting times ahead. I don't like monopolies and cartels, though, hence feel rather uncomfortable about Google's and Amazon's dominant positions. However, I shouldn't complain, as I've bought a lot of paper books from Amazon in the past and use Google frequently. Nevertheless, I think that competition is healthy, as it encourages innovation. Surely consumers have greater freedom when there's unfettered choice.
