I'm not familiar with it at all.
I am familiar with your assertion that this is not what you want as you are not satisfied with that feature. What you want is for Amazon to supply you with a digital file you can download and own outright and read on your kindle whenever you want. You want them to do this for free(preferably) or for "only a nominal fee"(I'm assuming "nominal" means a token fee that doesn't even cover the cost involved because you feel entitled to it anyway since you have bought another version of the same thing). You want them to do this for any pbook you buy via Amazon whether or not Amazon is the actual seller, has the rights to the digital version or any other hurdle.
You further believe all this is "inevitable" anyway. Which leaves me wondering why you are arguing so hard with anyone who does not share your opinion. I think your time would be better served by using your stated connections with the company to instigate change and politely asking any who agree with you to do the same.
I wont even bother going into your assertion that "the US is the cradle of technosocial and business innovation, so you'll have to look up to us and follow the lead...." since if you can't see the writing on that particular wall then you are in for a ruder shock than Amazon not doing what you want it to.
