just so i have this right - it is unselfish to mod the Kindle is it is a feature you like but selfish if the device is modded to remove the ads. who exactly is the selfish one?

much ado about nothing.
Now you're just putting words in my mouth. I was responding to your comment, "how many people could eat from the lavish holiday meals we choke down? how many people are evicted from crappy rental apartments each week? how many malnourished children are there tonight? tell me more about your ethical civilized world." You might just as easily, and equally incorrectly, said I was stating that modifying the Kindle was taking food out of the mouths of widows and orphans. I never made the claim that it was selfish or unselfish to remove the ads. My only claim is that it isn't ethical for a customer to accept a discount in return for a device with ads, then not hold up the consumer's end of that bargain.
