By hindsight, it seems to me that Amazon totally ignored the experiences of LinkSys (the folks that put Linux into a consumer product with the thought in mind that "nobody would ever look under the hood").
Yeah, right!
It is almost as if Amazon was thinking: "People will only use this to read books, so it doesn't matter if we use WinCE or Linux".
(Freescale supports WinCE on their SoC devices.)
If that wasn't the case, then they would (for instance) just load USBnet and export the user's area as CIFS.
Thus requiring a "set up disk" for Windows users.
But what after-market device that plugs into a Windows box does not come with a "set up disk"?
That wouldn't have been anything unexpected by Windows users - __everything__ they buy comes with one of those (even when it isn't needed because of Window's built-in automation).
Linksys learned their lesson and now are a supporter of after-market modifications.
Maybe Amazon will learn that lesson also.
