Yet here you are in a poll thread, talking about it with the rest of us.

This is a discussion forum, not a congressional filibuster, and the only thing at stake is sharing opinions, thoughts and arguments (argument as in 'make a case for," not necisarrily "fight.")

HOWEVER, if an additional function of this community is to put the weight of consumer's opinions behind a message to providers and ask for some change, then it's not merely expressing an preference, it's a vote for or against the idea of spending resources on something, either "yes, I want Amazon spending time and money implementing this feature, yes I would appreciate and support app developers who put this feature in their readers," or "no, don't drive costs up with stuff that has no real value but to a tiny minority, and don't clutter up and complicate a good app by shoehorning in these features."

Point is, people's right to preference is not at issue, and really not worth mentioning, and your live-and-let-live attitude may be harming us all.
