Well, I'd be more likely to buy it from Astak or Bookeen or any of the OEM manufacturers, and maybe even Sony since they're moving into ePub, than from Amazon. I don't think Amazon is evil, either--I buy stuff from them all the time (including music downloads), and I love the convenience. But since Amazon's ebook system is closed and tied to the device, I feel like they have more of a stake in knowing my Kindle behavior, and it's just going a little TOO far for me. I know it won't bother some people, but it gave me the creeps. But I thought it germane to the thread to point out that I bought a non-wireless device specifically because it was a non-wireless device!
I think it's funny when I'm tracked online. My interests are so eclectic they probably don't know what to do with me. I bought a Palm Pre when it came out and I spend some time at the Pre fan sites, and everywhere I go now I see Pre ads from Sprint. And I've already BOUGHT one!
