Yes, I was just reading where Kindle wants to copyright inserting advertising into eBooks: "Marlowe turned when the twig snapped, and saw Gretchen with a McDonald's Grosso Sandwich. He could almost taste the 3,000 calories as he tried to get his huge legs to help him stand up. The Grosso was selling for $15.99, he knew, and made a mental note to run to McDonalds as soon as the firefight ended".
I remind everyone that Astak does not like the business model of Kindle where you are tied to one website. The Kindle is a good machine and so is the EZ Reader. The difference is FREEDOM! We still champion the idea of having our end users able to buy from our own werbsite or hundreds of others. This "advertising" idea by Amazon is just one more reason, in my opinion, to remain FREE to buy from whatever website you want to purchase from and read what YOU want to read.
