I was probably dumber than most when I bought the kindle. I thought an ebook was an ebook. I thought the only difference between kindle and sony was the wireless if you bought from amazon. I thought sony just couldn't use wireless to buy amazon books. And all I asked the librarian was whether they offerred ebooks.
I have probably bought less than 5 books (I have bought several hundred) from sellers other than amazon. But amazon's actions with kindlepid opened my eyes to just how vulnerable I am. A month ago, I said I did not intend to ever buy a pbook. Now, the pbook looks a lot better.
