Somehow I think down the road we are going to have a real battle keeping control over our own devices and hardware. I'm not convinced that Amazon really thinks we own these devices. My own experience was that my two Kindle Fire tablets went from interesting ads on the screen lock pages originally to gaudy and obnoxious as time went on. My choice was to get rid of the tablets. But with Amazon becoming the defacto e-bookstore on the Internet, I don't think concern and caution regarding any update from them is out of line. My two cents.
