Wow, perhaps you should be a lawyer pandaborg? I'm just going by common sense on what they intended it to mean. It's just a small blurb after all not a detailed description. I would think common sense would lead one to believe that the thing does not come with 125,000 books installed and ready to go. Involve lawyers and common sense is out the window.

What I think they are after with the number, however poorly worded, is that their store has way more books available than the Sony store or any other. So on the Kindle you can access 140,000+ books at the Amazon store while the competition namely Sony and its store has far fewer. To me it's totally straight forward but then I can recognize the significants of the number. I still find it hard to believe many people would think it comes with all those books pre-loaded.
