There are plenty of valid reasons for people to never have owned a Kindle, and this thread makes interesting reading for that. However, there are quite a few examples of people who clearly have a dislike for Amazon but its as if they don't want to say that and try to dress it up with a more 'valid' reason.
"They (Kindle's) are just portable amazon shops."
"Amazon ruined the e-reader device market."

If I'd realised this before I bought a Kindle, this would have been the one reason for me not to buy it. Since my library didn't actually have e-books at the time it didn't really matter, and I've since learned it's not difficult to get round anyway. Though my Sony 350 makes it even easier now!
