At the moment I'm torn between two old sayings, one being "Never look a gift horse in the mouth"....but the old story about Trojans bearing gifts is hovering in the back of my mind too.

I agree with most everyone who is posting. Amazon is either running scared from something or someone, or this is their way of sticking it to the publishers for that harebrained idea of delaying ebooks. Or both, for all I know. I am not naive enough to think Amazon is doing this purely out of altruism, greedy corporatists don't know what that is.
