Amazon has made quite a few bad decisions this month:
1. The Kindle 2 text-to-speech fiasco.
2. There have been a number os complaints about the screen looking washed-out on some Kindle 2 devices.
3. The DMCA notice. People are not going to be happy when they find that they are criminalised for reading library books; or books legally purchased from sources other than Amazon. "Buy a Kindle: Be a Criminal" is not an alluring selling point. And I would have thought that they'd be looking for good publicity in the wake of the Kindle 2 launch.
I wonder whether they are getting so big that they are throwing their weight around; or whether their organisation is sloppily run, so that they are making very public mistakes; or whether they just don't care.
