I'm pretty happy with Amazon's service with respect to books and pretty much everything else. There are things I'd like to see improve but I'm not unhappy with the way things are.
That's also true for the Kindle. It's an excellent device and I have no real complaints about it. But there are improvements I'd love to see.
There's not much chance I'll get the changes I'd like to see and that's okay because I'm pretty happy with what I've got.
I really would like to see some hardware maker make a deal with Amazon and B&N and Kobo and the others to start producing devices that can read all their books. I'm sure not predicting this will happen. I don't think it's very likely but here's hoping.
Once other manufacturers start making competing devices, even if they cost more, things could go from very nice, as they are now, to pretty amazing.
Such a device would be independant of stores and since they're not making their money selling books but have to compete with the device itself it should keep getting better and better and better.
Again this isn't a prediction, just a hope. I wish it would happen. I wish.
