RB,
I don't dismiss you as a lunatic. (Hey, I've been called worse.) I'll merely agree with your observation that you and I obviously have a different definition of "duty," and leave it at that. Likewise, I'll forego any more lengthy debate on the subject, since it is a bit tangential to the actual subject of the thread.
To return to the subject, therefore, I'll state that the potential of regulating e-books delivered to the Kindle is a far cry from actual regulation... and further, since the Kindle does not yet represent all e-book distribution channels, regulation of that one channel would not severely impact e-book distribution overall, removing the notion of it being a "threat to First Amendment rights." Until and unless the Kindle becomes the only way to get e-books, it cannot be considered a "threat" to anything.
