I'd suspect the average user is more like that--just sees the ad/hype on amazon, buys one and never looks how to do more with it than get books from the Amazon store.

Not like the people here that are aware of the other ways to get books etc.



But I'd also think such people would have done research and found that the Kindle isn't the best choice for making use of library ebooks......
I think you're seriously underestimating the 'average' user. They may start that way, but readers are a curious lot.

Where do you think "the people here" came from?

The Amazon kindle forums, and google search. Because people like me, daffy and countless others tell them about MR, and the things they can learn.

Or at least, USED to be able to learn.
