Hey, we actually use these things, you know.

What the heck do I know, I'm just a law-abiding Kraut haha, therefore my English is too bad to make the point like you just did with that one-liner
Eschwartz, seriously, you just made my day, or what's left of it (almost past bed-time over here) by stating the obvious: why should Amazon give a fuck about their cross-financed readers anyway?
Question: do they roll out FW updates OTA with or without asking for user's permission to install? Just because when I'm busy reading at a place that's not home, I might not have a chance to roll back FW and jailbreak. Turning off WiFi or 3G is not so much of an option because snappy Wikipedia access is too sexy with some books.
And Calibre: can Kindle really transform tags into collections with a sync, even if a book has more than one tag (each tag -> book goes into corresponding collection, if not there, build it)?
And does it handle series? I trained the Sony to fill a collection with books that are part of a series, called it SERIES ABC. It shows all series, series names in alphabetical order; within that, ordered by episodes.
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series A title> - <003>
<book title>
<author> - <series B title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series B title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <001>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <002>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <003>
<book title>
<author> - <series C title> - <004>

Of course, each book of a series is filed under its genre tag(s) based collection(s). In all lists I can see which book belongs to which series and its series number as well. I don't want collections by series (each series one collection) mixed with the list of collections by genres.
My Calibre workflow to achieve this with current setup per book: add tags for author, title, genre(s), series title (if any) and series number (if any), then sync.
Fuck, hard to explain all that in English, sorry guys! Gotta go catch up with sleep now...
