I hear you on that. I've done that before. Still, it's VERY nice to just pick up whatever device I want to read on/listen too, and the sync just happens.

Thanks, I'll look into that. It's just do darn easy to use the kindle app. Well, easy now that I've documented the steps so I don't have to keep refiguring it out.

Also sync is useless between devices/apps from different suppliers.

So much of my computing experience relies on the cloud. If an atomic bomb hits, I want to be at ground zero. I don't want to live in a post connected world

I loved that I could buy a Google Chromebook, log in, and all my settings and passwords from my pc/Mac just sync. Same with Windows login on new Windows computers. Same with Macs, iPhones, iPads with iCloud.

I have Amazon tablets, iPads, iPhones, even a Walmart Android tablet. I have Windows PC's, Linux PC's, Macs. Now I have a Kindle eInk device. I use all of them to some extent. The "somebody else's computers" help make the experience quite seamless switching.
