Oh well...lesson learned...

Well mmc, I'm in the same boat as you - I researched long and hard, liked both the Sony & Kindle device and bought a used Kindle 1. I have also been dismayed at their actions.
Anyway, my feeling is this - I bought the device, I own it, and I'll put on it what I choose. If I alter library ebook files so they work on the device it's none of Amazon's business. I got the book from my library, not Amazon, and I never altered the Kindle's software. Beside that I have no agreement with Amazon - I bought my Kindle from a private seller and owe nothing to them whatsoever.
Jeff Bezos can come to my house and personally demand I stop reading library books on the Kindle, and I'll tell him to take a flying F. I don't live terribly far from him and he's welcome to try.
Next time I time to buy a book, after going through all of this, why would I buy it from Amazon? Somebody give me a good reason because I can't think of one.
