I am very disappointed in Amazon over this. They have proven that so far they're no better than the publishers that had problems w/ TTS, then also all the squabbles/suits w/ RIAA, RCA, WMG and all the other retards that trample over fair-use and more in the guise of "DMCA" compliance. At least Steve Jobs made a reason for us to want to buy from his store for his products. Amazon won't let us make legitimate purchases from other sellers.
What do you think people would say if Wal-Mart sold you a DVD or Blu-Ray player, then locked the device and the content to only allow you to buy discs from them (and then send out hate letters to anyone trying to find a way around)? That's EXACTLY what Amazon is doing with the K2.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a proud K2 owner and I love reading on the device, but they're making it a real bitter experience by their super-restrictive DRM methods and now all this faux "DMCA" junk to keep us from buying legit books from other sources.
Amazon, get the heck back on track, I'm going to be sending an email to the feedback email address (kindle2-feedback@amazon.com) and I encourage everyone else to do the same and let them know how disappointed we are w/ them.
