I am, to quote the younger generation, totally bummed.

I wanted Jeff Bezo's to be smarter than this. I wanted him to include at least, at the very least, Canada.

In the end, what did he do? Changed to rounded corners.

Limited what we could store. No replaceable battery. No folders.

The extra shades of grey? I have no problem reading now.

Text to speech? Its a reader, people! There are already audio books out there.

I guarantee you this. I am going to baby my Kindle even more from now own, because no way will I buy what they are offering now.

If I ever do have to replace it, I will go with something else. But by then, who knows wht will be available?

NOTE TO JEFF BEZOS...........COME TO MOBILEREAD. SPEND SOME TIME HERE, LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO USE YOUR DEVICE AND THE MANY OTHERS AVAILABLE.
