If you look at the Kindle forum you'll see that the overwhelming majority of users are perfectly happy with the PW. The number of complains is very small.

A Kindle is not as open as a Reader that handles ePub. ePub without DRM is open. KF8 & Mobi are not open. I've said this before and you've obviously skipped over my posts.
"Open" is much overrated, given the triviality of converting between ePub and KF8. Yes, you're right of course in saying that ePub is an "open standard" and KF8 isn't, but who gives a damn when you can seamlessly convert from one to the other? It doesn't make the slightest practical difference one way or the other.
