I think it is great that US buyers get some restrictions slapped on them. Not out of spite, but because now US Kindle owners will give Amazon and the publishers hell! And, for the moment, US Kindle owners are far more important to Amazon then the rest of the world. Who cares about the rest of us? If we are lucky the whole system of assigning publishers' rights by region will fall apart and freedom rings!
