perhaps I am feeling a bit smug as they got caught in a panties down situation over the whole "sharing" thing, and I felt that was a preverication on their part. perhaps I am getting tired of the big guy lying to the little guy. perhaps I can gloat, just a bit, for once  |
I'm sure there have been deliberate detractors, and it's a shame. I don't know if you're referring to to Kindle section on MR or Amazon's own. The great thing about MR has always been that there was very little of that--but it takes a conscious effort from everyone to keep it from spreading.
I don't understand why any of it has to be us-vs.-them. Frankly, I hope every device on the market succeeds spectacularly. With luck, e-book reading devices will become widely-supported commodities to the point where the choice of hardware makes little difference. Heck, it's almost there already.
