How are Amazon's business practices and/or political affiliations more "right wing" than those of B&N or Sony, and what does lacking a "political or social conscience" have to do with buying a Kindle? Are you talking about DRM-wrapped mobipocket and Amazon's recent R&D toward making it impossible to strip, or, say, anti-labor machinations on the level of Walmart's Walton brothers? If so, links, please.
