I certainly don't remember that being a very popular answer, but I'm sure there were a few who were obtuse enough (and vocal enough) to respond like that. Mainly, I remember Kindle owners (even in the Kindle forum) suggesting that prospective buyers might want to look elsewhere if borrowing ebooks from the library was high on their wishlist. I know that was always my advice--and the advice of most people I consider "reasonable."

Holding an entire demographic responsible for the opinions of a few vocal extremists seems a bit petty and pointless to me.

And I can't wait for you to mistakenly assume you that those who inevitably do end up thinking it's "the greatest thing ever invented" were the same people who weren't interested in it, at all. You should look into a narrower paintbrush. Your wide one is getting paint in places it doesn't belong.

sigh
