No company cares about its customers because companies are entities, not sentient beings.
What I want is an end to the format wars.

Where does the vitriol come from, markbot?

Agreed.
I was reading this section on Character Development in one of my fiction writing books last night and it was saying that every character must have a driving force, something that they totally absorbed by, the goal they seek at any cost. I think there is some of that here.
I too wonder about the vitriol and badmouthing. If he is so certain Kindle and Amazon will win, why does it matter what anyone else thinks?
Have you seen that Amazon commercial where the customer has a shrine set up to Bezos? That is what this whole thread reminds me of.
I love Amazon and have spent a ton of money there, but they are far from perfect -- particularly in the ebook world.
We will have our independent standard, it will be epub and it begins in earnest this month with Sony and B&N. Amazon will eventually come around or they will lose all they have gained.
