No offences meant..Just a friendly banter on my opinions..
I hate DRMs and jailing. I hate animals in the zoo..and I hate having pets.
I love to see the animals roam free of their leashes and hence the doves roaming in courtyards..free. Biologically humans are animals too(many forget). I hate to think I am leashed to a cord by..maybe a dinosaur? I want to be free..I want my device to be free of encumbrances.
And for this reason I also boycott the Zune and some others. I can thrive very well with more open-minded providers.
Heard the Kindle is a good solid device, but a full jail-bird.
Even though I have had many chances to get the Kindle, if there is any such thing, I will vote for boycotting the Kindle itself. Why half-measures?
If I want to use a kindle, I want to read not only Amazon souped books, but also books from elsewhere. If the reading is problematic, that my problem Amazon need not care. Why restrict? And the whole point of selling an ebook reader is to support cheaper reading. So why should ebooks cost equal or more than paperbooks? Absurd..
No one will feel a thing if a farthing that is me proclaims to boycott. But join hands and the mass will make the matter weightier.
And Hence I boycott the Kindle and recommend my near and dears and so on to do so.
