Seriously. What pisses me off, is knowledge that there is no real technical reason for removing options, such as justification or margin size or list of font sizes, even in the form of advanced settings buried deep within the fifth level of experimental menu, or an xml file you would have to create and edit on PC in a "system" directory.
THIS is exactly what I am complaining about. Users have no choice.
It is not that I think that Kindle is not a good reader for some people. It is exactly the type of device I would recommend for a non-technical user that has no support and needs to get his/her books and set her/his options unassisted.

Also Amazon has removed the option to install custom fonts on the PW1/2. Shocking, IMO. Sure you can embed fonts, but that's a horrid clunge out of reach for the average user.
Again, Amazon is reducing choice, even with their software choices. They are dumbing down e-readers.
