Yea,the fanboi in this scenario defending the broken way of doing things is perfectly, perfectly clear. There's no reason for eliminating the purchase review screen except to encourage accidental purchases, from my point of view.

Actually I think they originally setup the one click on Kindle to make it easier for people -- less clicking/updating on the Kindle because the Kindle wasn't really setup to be an internet tool with tons of internet navigation. I think they thought they were being clever: "Look how easy it is to use!" Strangely, I think they did it to avoid complaints, not trick people into buying products they don't want. I mean, they *do* accept returns so long as returns don't get out of hand (which was the original discussion point...)
But one-click isn't a big deal. For those that don't like it, it's pretty easy to turn it off, buy a different device like the iPod Touch (more internet surfing ability) or buy books via their computer and upload to the kindle.
