He also brought to light the very real potential that Kindle owners (and users of any brand of ebook reader, for that matter) could at some point lose access to previously purchased material. A discussion about that issue and what users can do to protect themselves is worthwhile.
Fortunately, with only a few dozen posts under my belt, my comments are nothing more than doggerel.
Carry on.

Please don't escalate by making such broad statements as "this is a pro-Amazon-only message board". If you read back through this thread, you see Amazon bashers, defenders and a lot of us in between. It's a bit of a straw man you're setting up there. If you want to debate a poster, then do that. You won't get a very good reaction if you decide arbitrarily that it's you against the board.
