Dear Sir,
I am an early adopter and proud owner of the CyBook Gen3 (a versatile e-book device).

For this summer I wanted to read Falcones “Cathedral by the Sea” (appropriate while going on vacation to Spain)

I find a paperback for £4.29 at Amazon.Co.Uk, but I prefer not to waste suitcase-space on books as I can now store many many books in a small device.
I spent a lot of time to find any electronic version of this title, in the end I found your site and then you insult me by (all) charging me $ 17,- for an electronic version via your website although you safe on costs for:
- Paper
- Storage
- Printing
- Distribution
- Resellers-margin
- Sales-representatives

I was prepared to pay £3 - £4 for this title as this is comparable to the price of the printed version.
Apparently you do not (yet) appreciate me as a (potential) paying customer.

I'd just like to know which mod is hiding the "Kindle Vs Sony" poll from my Kindle people.

Everytime a Kindle person comes on, the poll disappears!

That must be the reason we are so far behind...........

There's so many doors to this poll not even a mod could hide it.

WDE.

There are so many doors, windows and cubbie-holes in this poll, that the Mods can't even FIND it .....

Don't blame the mods, grandma. It's not their fault. I just have this effect on Kindle owners. When they approach the site, I just bare my teeth and bark my little head off. It works for all but the most persistent (like yourself). I fierce doggie!
