I can't make the huge mental leap on how you find this even remotely 'unfair' or 'wrong'. I think you are bashing Amazon pure and simple for some percieved injustice they've inflicted on you. Of course you have the right to participate in shameless bashing, you should just be honest and admit that's what you're doing.
P.S. I had one BAD experience with Buy.com and have participated in the same type of 'I'll never buy from them again' hyperbole that you're spouting here, so I'm not innocent from having done the same. But I know and admit it was bashing based on that horrible customer experience. Dislike Amazon if you want for whatever they did wrong, but this isn't wrong...its business.

Maybe you haven't been following what's happened with Amazon lately, but by 'biased' I don't mean 'marketing' (a word that makes me ill on every level). I mean the 'vanishing' of gay and lesbian related books under the guise of 'adult' filtering. I mean the lock in to their device with DRM. I mean the buying of Stanza to do, who knows what, but whatever it is I don't expect it to be good.
I cancelled my Amazon account over the gay and lesbian censorship, but there's plenty of other reasons they don't get my custom. This just happens to be one more straw on a camel's back that was broken a long while ago.
