Now that there isn't such competition in the US other than Kobo, & B&N. Amazon doesn't feel the need to stand out all that much (IMHO).
And the SD slot was scrapped as a failed experiment on so many levels...

And the audio was scrapped as a failure at being a selling point...

And the 3G is something people value, and therefore Amazon has sold them ever since, despite your belief that: Amazon has no competition therefore why would they.
Thank you for coming to my defense.
