then again, i know people that still won't deal with amazon due to the "one click" nonsense... they also won't shop at walmart, dominoes, or any one of 100s of vendors due to antics which they don't believe in, whether true or not.

As you point out, if we're to look at each company historically, they're probably all guilty of something undesirable. That leaves us with the option of judging individual products, in which case I think the Sony (or Cybook, or iRex, etc..) readers do come off a bit more saintly than the Kindle (currently). What's the point of historical judgement when it makes makes all your options equal?
