I've been following this thread and reading everyones opinions and views. I can sort of see both sides...right or wrong? legal? morally devious? etc.... Regardless of what opinion anyone has, the fact remains that amazon has gotten tons of publicity for this and not for the better. I would venture to say their sales go down at least a small percentage, because the average person probably wont sit down to figure out if amazon was justified in doing this. For the most part, one would see a big headline that Amazon took back a ton of ebooks they sold. So why would they become a new kindle owner?
Someone earlier asked if Sony owners weren't sure they're devices were being monitored. Key difference in Sony and Kindle (in my opinion)-with the Sony Reader I have gotten tons of books from various places, only 2 have I actually bought through the sony ebook store. Kindle- (pls correct if I'm wrong) for the most part you have to purchase ebooks from Amazon, unless you want to do some converting. (Like i said, correct me if I'm wrong)
So, being a Sony Reader owner, No, I'm not worried one bit about Sony. I have too many other sources for my ebooks to be stuck with their sony store.
