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

They run a business... all these new "stuff" on the paperwhite that they use to advertise like time left in the book, or cover mode etc. Hell even new fonts... new fonts that we could get via the jailbreak. If they make it easy for you, how do they sell their next devices ? I mean the paperwhite is a good product, they don't have an infinite room for improvement from there. They are not just selling hardware, if they were you wouldn't be buying it, would you?
Someday they might be like "hey look at our Kindle 10, with personalized wallpapers" adding the all old "you asked for it and we listened" to keep a straight face and there you go. What do you think. They could even sell wallpapers for all they care.
They sell millions of kindle every months. They are not gonna miss a couple of dudes that needs an e-ink computer.
