The vast majority of users are perfectly capable of stocking their Kindles with a sufficient number of books to tide them over until they get back to their PC-based libraries.
Rather than it being a decision by Amazon to push people toward cloud storage, I simply see it as Amazon recognizing the fact that the bulk of their customers are served very well by the amount of local storage provided. So why make the device more expensive just to cater to the exceptions rather than the rule? |
Because some people would buy them even at a higher price? Because internal storage sometimes/eventually fail and then they would buy a replacement?
By the way DO you know how to move a book from calibre to your Kindle? Calibre can create a much better catalog than Amazon's archive but what I really need is the ability to select a book in that catalog and have it sent to my kindle. If I could do that I wouldn't feel such a need to keep my books with me.
