But this might lead to hackers going to competitors where the hood is not as hard to open and therefore to less combined effort to take Amazon's devices to their full hacking potential.
Considering that amazon lost money this past fiscal quarter (for the first time in 9 years, I think), this temporary shortage of paperwhites to ship is probably not a good reason for them to drive away our portion of their customer base (and our friends, relatives, and others), who would have surely purchased future kindle products if not for this ill will directed our way from amazon. But the war they started with 5.3.0 clearly indicates that they do not desire for us to remain their faithful and loyal customers now or in the future. And that goes for a significant number of our followers as well.

Hey, Bezos, which of your competitors do you suggest that we migrate to for our future purchases?
