What this means is that I can buy a Nook use for a year then reset it to factory default give it to my grandma and she can go on her marry way. No ties to me or my content.
You are wrong. The kindle is not tethered to an account and you can sever the connection at any time. You do not understand how the kindle works. Once I buy a book from Amazon and download the UNIQUE book file that will only work on my kindle (based on an internal PIN number), I can deregister my kindle from that account and never use it again. I could buy every book using a different account if I want. No further communication/connection with Amazon is ever needed, under any circumstances, for that book to work on that kindle.

In fact, if I want to sell my kindle, I can deregister it from my account, but LEAVE ALL THE BOOKS ON IT for the person who buys it.
