Well guys, I don't know about you but I am not surprised. I wish I was mind you. But I am really not. This is just another company in a ling line of companies that do this sort of thing and you know who I blame for it?
US! You and me. We allow it to happen. The Itunes store was DRM for ever and did that stop people from buying Ipods? No. Best selling MP3 EVER!
Same thing will happen here. People will buy up the Kindle cuz it from Amazon and ohhhh ahhhh isn't it nifty! I for one will never buy a Kindle now. But many many many others will.
The only way to correct this sort of thing is to vote with your pocket book and the bottom line is no one cares. They will buy anyway.
The ironic thing about it all is that when I boycott a store or manufacturer for some ridiculous practice, people look at me funny!
Ah well.... just more of the same really.
Eric
