RCENTROS: "I don't really think Amazon cares about these user choices... yet. It's kind of like Microsoft with Windows 8. No one liked the user interface, but Microsoft figured they didn't have anywhere else to go.a"

You got it. "No one liked...." No one? Not one person? And, of course, Microsoft and Users moved on and are now using Windows 10.

We have evidence of Kindle meeting the needs, even the ridiculous needs, of users. A group of users wanted mechanical buttons so they got mechanical buttons. I wanted my Paperwhite to tell me which books I'd read and which were waiting to be read. Kindle did it.

I enjoy reading on my Paperwhite. If I didn't, I'd got to another ereader or buy paper books again. There are other ebook readers available. Lots of options.
