I saw this on Slashdot and read most of the comments here. I'm appalled at the behavior of Amazon towards an apparently loyal and long-term customer. If it were me, I'd be contacting consumerist and setting things straight, since Amazon seems to show no interest in doing so.

I've never bought anything from Amazon and now I never will. When the Kindle was first announced, I remember feeling wary, because of the DRM restrictions and because it seemed to be a somewhat closed system. Now I read that they can brick your Kindle, even when you've PAID for that content absolutely convinces me that I have no need now or in the future for this device.

My sis buys all kinds of stuff from Amazon. I'm going to forward the article to her... bet she finds a new provider.
