The OP asked some questions before buying a Kindle. I gave him my best advice, straight to the point in a very short message.

My advice is to stay away from Kindle. They want to keep you in jail. They really mean it. Beware.

You did not appreciate it, though later you told me yourself that it would have been wiser for me to stay away from buying a Kindle...
But, tell me: is it false to inform would-be buyers that Amazon wants to keep them in jail? That they really mean it? We cannot say them the truth?
I had received from you already two weeks ago some disparaging comments ("on the point of foolishness") to which I did not reply a single word, but when I read the same kind of comment a second time for a totally different subject, I could clearly see a bullying pattern that I will not stand.
You also gave technical arguments: you were the first to speak about how Kindle and Kobo are more featureful than Koreader.
Well, on both points, you got replies. Koreader and hyphenation may not be the majority choice in NY, but you can't deny that they can be a sound (i.e. non-foolish) choice. How surprising indeed...
