What happened is, some fool thinks Amazon should get RID of the USB port on Kindles. He wants it to be waterproof, but neglected to realize that he's the only one who thinks so.

Of course, you could ALSO email them, but that is a whole nother story, and only useful for multiple devices, sync and cloud storage, so lets not go there. (Unless you really want to.)

By the way, a workaround to put books on your iPad with calibre: in calibre, click on Connect/Share and select on the dropdown "Connect to iTunes" which will allow you to send your books to device where device=iTunes. Once calibre puts them into iTunes, you should be able to use iTunes sync to save them to your iPad/iThingy.

Much faster than mail, although it would be better if Apple just let you save stuff through the file explorer...
