The 'bull' was specifically regarding the idea that 100,000 could be dismissed out of hand as too small for a population of a few million. I know epidemiologists who would kill for a sample that large.
I heard national elections have turned on polling samples of mere hundreds.
The rest of your post, unless I missed something, basically said you don't think my opinion has a sound basis.
I note the success of the Kindle.
I note the general tone of customers on Amazon and other websites.
I note the specific polls and threads asking about it here.
I note the overheard conversations in stores as I hang around the ereader counter (as I often do).
I note the lack of mention of customer concerns in the trade press.
I note the anecdotal evidence presented to me as an IT professional from a fairly wide circle of friends, colleagues and clients.
The people who are warning people away from Amazon because of "lock in/out" APPEAR to me to be basing it in on imagined worst-case scenarios and anamardoll's mom.
Correct me if there is anything else informing their opinion.
