There are lots of things Amazon can do. What I was saying was that they've done all the big stuff already so all we'll see now is little improvements. That's not so bad considering that we already have all the good stuff.
This is the first I've heard of that Washington state law. Can you cite some sources? I have mixed feelings about that. While I'd sure love to see all devices have replaceable batteries I'm not real comfortable with government telling them they have to do that. As it is we get nothing but disposable devices. Even my last two laptops don't have replaceable batteries and I hate that.
