Ladies, Fish, and Gentlemen, this is one of the prices you pay for owning a Swin---excuse me, Kindle. In order to have Whispernet, you ceded the right to have Amazon look into your machine, play games with it, and (not germane to this particular problem) genericly track you around as you travel. You ceded this for the convenience of being able to download anywhere at the touch of a button.

You also signed on for a closed system, extremely limited choices in format used, and difficulty in transferring your own files into the system.

TANSTAAFL.

Now I'm not just bashing Amazon, any WiFi on all the time system is subject to these problems. I pointed this out when the Kindle first came out, and most people didn't care, they thought is was so wonderful to have anywhere download. Now that it starting biting you, don't complain. You were told the puppy has teeth....
