Oh, I do not deny that it can be an important factor. Amazon's reputation for customer service for the Kindle was on my list of pros along with "well, I buy everything from them already, so what's one more?"
That being said... a nice ebookstore just wouldn't be a big enough lure for me to buy an ereader that I
genuinely disliked in every other way. The ereader itself will always be the deal breaker for me. (Same for the car... if I didn't like driving it with the stereo turned off, why would I like it with the stereo turned on? It might make a difference in an "all things being equal" situation but not for something truly significant to me).
