True, and I get that you're joking, but in all seriousness what if I want to shop for books online using my ereader? If I buy an "open" ereader, I have all the convenience without any of the BS. Did you know you don't actually own the books on a Kindle? That's just silly.

And they take a huge cut out of the purchase price of the book for what - hosting a .mobi file? It would be way better if authors/publishers could just host/sell their own books through search engines like Calibre or whatnot and keep prices lower.
I hope to get my "Chinese" e-reader (where do people think kindles are made?) and really hope that it's as good as it looks on paper. I will write a review after using it for a while.
