That'd be a huge change considering the PW is one of the top specced available.....

I agree with most of your post--except the part about figuring that savvy users will figure ways around irritations/limitations so they don't worry too much about their complaints.
I agree they don't worry too much about their complaints--but it seems to me Amazon is actively trying to discourage folks from figuring out how to get around using Kindles the way Amazon wants you to. They continue to make their readers harder for advanced users/programmers to modify and remove "hidden features" like the relatively easy ability to install your own fonts...which to me is "reduced functionality".
