"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.
you pose some good questions. let's hope they will rethink their approach and a take a different attitude.
