Because Amazon is eee-vile!
If anybody else (say, Apple or Google) had introduced a deal delivery service built off an ebook reader they'd be falling all over themselves applauding.
Remember all the hoopla over Apple's not-even-vaporware layered display?
Or how Google getting into ebooks was supposed to banish Amazon back to the nether realms?
Some folks take their tech choices waaayyy too personal as if the mere existence of a competitive product were an offense against nature.
Just because a product doesn't appeal to you doesn't necessarilly mean it won't appeal to somebody else.
(Unless we're talking about the Sony eVilla. That one, even the name was stupid.
)
The value of competitive markets is that they offer choices.
