Perhaps in English or your country/language. That's totally wrong in Spanish language. So, your experience is totally biased.

In my country, I know much more people with Kindle than any other ereader, and I still have to listen that comment to a person.

And, in my country, Amazon is looked at with kind eyes.
Do people pirate? A lot. Do people need a non-kindle device or epub format for doing it? Please, be real.
