You may well be right. And many will declare this to be good. But if I were a Kindle customer, I wouldn't like it. Contained therein is a very subtle sentiment something like arrogance, seen in many other technical product venues:
you don't need to know the details.

If so, let me make a prediction.
There will be a book or a few with small differences between the two formats. For example, one will have an incorrect storyline detail that was corrected in one version but not the other. Readers in this very forum who happen to have both old and new Kindles will notice the difference and post comments here.
