True. I will buy Toyota's forever for this reason. Sure, people say "buy American made" as I live here, but Toyota is better so that's what I'm doing. I mean really, my wife's car from college had over 250k miles on it before it died, and up until the end, it didn't have many problems at all really.
One thing about Amazon Kindle though that I also consider important is the volume of good ebooks. I compare this to Nintendo. Back in the day of the console wars between Nintendo and Sega, Sega had nicer hardware in the Genesis/Megadrive while the NES was still out. However, Nintendo won out. Why? Many people say that it's primarily due to the large library of good games that the NES had.
Same with Kindle. Amazon has the biggest bookstore of quality books, so I still give them the leading edge in this competition.
