80%? Maybe in the U.S.? I find it hard to believe they have 80% of Europe when the predominant standard over there is ePub.

Nah. I've had several ereading devices. The Kindle is, far and away, my favorite. It's the design that does it for me - I love the feel of the Kindle in my hands, the page turns are natural and fast, I like the keyboard (I know some people don't), and I love the wireless. But hey, thanks for calling all Kindle owners ignorant. That was very helpful.
