So:
1 - does Amazon advertise the Kindle as intended to access Library ebooks? Does it fail to access the Amazon ebookstore as advertise? Does it fail to open ebooks and documents in the documented formats?

2- does reading on a Kindle leave anybody blind or do Kindle batteries explode or otherwise cause harm to its buyers?

3- do Kindles come with inadequate instruction on how to turn them on, download ebooks, and read them?

4- or do Kindles fall apart or stop performing during normal usage?

Given the lack of class-action lawsuits coming from eastern Texas, I suspect the answer is: NO.
No ambulance-chasing shyster has yet found reason to go after Amazon over the Kindles.

It is an established legal principle (at a minimum) that producers have the right to design their products as they see fit as long as they don't endanger the user.
Claiming a product is defective because it fails to offer features its vendor never claimed to offer is not exactly rational, people. You might as well decry AIRPLANE as a bad movie because it doesn't move you to tears like TITANIC.

I'm outta here!
Irrelevant to the discussion. You are the first person to mention the word "defective" in this thread.

Why do some people try to run and hide behind the law when they have no ability to stand on their own in an argument? And it seems to only happen when people are defending big business.
