Huh?!! That's just silly.

An important reason, advertised by Amazon, for purchasing a Kindle, rather than a cheaper alternative device, is access to Amazon-provided content through Wispernet.

Your argument is kind of like of a store selling you a TV, then disabling cable/OTA reception on your TV, because you had a dispute with them about the shoes you bought there subsequently.

And when you complain about lost reception functionality, they tell you that it was implied in the small print on page 136 of their contract. Plus, you can still plug in a VCR into the TV, so it's still deemed functional....
