Indeed. And Amazon is facilitating them. Their lawyers along with many others irresponsibly support this outdated model. |
Dude! Amazon sells globally and it's simply complying with the rights granted to it by the authors/publishers and with the various local laws under which it must operate.
What do you want them to do? Sell without authorization and get sued in multiple jurisdictions?
Do you really think they are happy to lose sales to local outfits, just so they can piss you personally off, and just so they can "support this outdated model?"

not too many people are going to shell out 300+ for it when full functioning tablets that size will soon be available for that price. I'm no iPad fan, but for 350 bucks you'd have to be crazy to buy a DX over a refurb iPad 1....

I have both. I like the iPad.
But I would not use the iPad as my daily ereader. It screws up my eyes, while the eink screen of the DXG is better than paper (IMO).
The DXG is the only large-screen reader with a Pearl screen. The only one. (At 9.7", it's still to small to read PDFs on, though.)
If someone came out with an 11" Pearl or better screen and better PDF support, I'd dump the Kindle immediately.
But for now, the DXG is the only game in town.
