I totally agree, in fact while I trust Apple I don't trust Amazon. Amazon only has fantastic customer service if you don't fall foul of unwritten and unacknowledged rules. If you do that it doesn't matter how much you spend with them they are going to screw you. Yes I like my Kindle Voyage and don't regret buying it, but it's the last high end device I will ever buy from them, I can't trust that I will always be able to use a device tied into Amazon anymore. I'll never return another item but till the day I die I won't trust them to put the customer first anymore.
£270 on an ereader from a company I can’t trust is out of the question, hell even the Paperwhite would be a risk at £110. Amazon are dangerous and insidious.
