But you need a Kindle if you want to buy ebooks from Amazon. I am surprised that authors are fine with that, as e-book buyers that have another device will not shop at Amazon. So IMHO, what Amazon should do is sell any type of e-book and market the Kindle as the one device that has permanent access to the shop etc. etc. so people can choose between no-thrills access to ebooks ohne Kindle OR the full Kindle experience with Kindle..
