If you look at this thread, you will see that only a few of the people who post here have a Kindle. Many have Sony, IRex, Hanlin, etc ...

As it was pointed out by others: Amazon is not the only one who sells ebook (and as far as I know, they aren't the first, either). Same with the ebook reader.

You see ? I don't need the Kindle. And I don't need the ebooks of Amazon.
Great! Then why should you complain about their business practices? That's the beauty of capitalism and competition. If this kind of behavior from Amazon was so important, it would drive away their business. Since their Kindle business is booming (according to speculation, grant you), it's safe to say that most people have other things to worry about. For most people, Amazon's actions have mended the situation.
