How is this a good thing for the average person who will not be able to read eBooks s/he wants to read because the eBooks are locked into Amazon and they don't have a Kindle? Sure you can get Kindle for PC, but that does nothing for the people who have a reader that doesn't happen to be from Amazon. I don't have a Kindle and I don't buy eBooks from Amazon. Lots of people don't have a Kindle. Going exclusive to Amazon is just bad news. And it is not good eBooks. Amazon is bad for business.
