My mistake forgot to escape this argument from my initial quote.

hu ... I disagree ???
I'm not exactly sure of what you're talking about, but the ability to change the display of text on the fly is provided by my kindle's firmware....

Do you realize how messed up that opinion is ?
Basically you're claiming your right to be completely abused & ripped off by companies with abusive ebook prices, just because you bought the device so hey... now you have it, you NEED to make use of it ???

I'm sorry I don't want to come off as rude or anything, also not trying to start a flame war. I'm just like... completely destabilized by your arguments ...
