Not correct.
Amazon is not a bookseller or a specialty store. Amazon is a Target, a Wal-Mart, a discount mega-mart that also happens to sell books. Amazon makes their money by catering to the masses - so of course people expect them to continue to do so. That is how they reached market dominance.
I can't go on to B&N's website and purchase food. I can buy food at Amazon.
You guys with the whole "Amazon can do whatever they want" line are killing me here.
If Amazon wants my money, then they do what I want - I'm the customer. If they don't, I take my money elsewhere.
Let's get something straight - this is a forum that specializes in discussing mobile reading technology, right? Just making sure.
