And in my opinion, what Feedbooks did with their downloadable links directory thingy--that was just amazing. I read a DRM-free book by an author, and he has links embedded in the book to download more books by same author. Thirty seconds later, I am reading another book by that same author. Quick and painless and I don't even have to sit up. Awesome.
I think Feedbooks' use of the Kindle technology is an example of just how innovative this device really is and I wish more people who reviewed the Kindle would try out this feature.

Glad that you like this feature tsgreer. Keep in mind that this is strictly the beginning for Feedbooks on the Kindle. We'll soon provide a mobile website for the device, then an easy way (similar to the download guide) to get RSS feeds or customized newspapers on the Kindle.
I'll also work on a tutorial about these features, I'm sure that a lot of non-techies would be interested about these kind of things.
