I just can't help it... I have to reply to the post above that states "We should welcome anything that helps to defeat Amazon’s attempts to monopolize the ebook market."

I think it can be successfully argued that Amazon has done more to drive the ereader market than anyone else. For that, we can and should all be grateful. If anyone feels that Amazon shouldn't be there choice, then that is just fine. This market will never be monopolized, but we need as many big players in it as possible (Amazon, Sony, B&N...more!).

A few years ago, the only choice I was aware of was the Sony Reader (which wouldn't work with a Mac). Amazon showed the success that a reader could have in the market and look at what is in store for next year! Lots of competition and lots of choices.

Let's not hate and not bash any company that is coming to market here. We can disagree, but the market will sort out the winners and the losers.
