You are all a bunch of dopes. . .
If you think that I as an American have anything to do with Amazon's decisions on how the Kindle is marketed or how books are marketed globally.

What do you want Americans to do in this case? Stop reading? This is without a doubt the single most moronic thread in this forum since, well, sometime in January.

It may be moronic, but it sure has been interesting.

I can assure you my Australian relatives would bitterly resent the implication that they don't get their own continent .

Sadly, we in America are squarely under the thumb of the corporate oligarchy, both in ebooks and a lot of other fields. Over all, no Americans don't have it better. We've lost far too much of our freedom.

It feels so continental here. Some of us are incontinent though!

Anyway what about islandic drift?

I believe Australians are proud to be on something that is both an island and a continent.

To be fair, Australia is HUGE. It has pretty much the same landmass as the United States. Calling it an island (in anything but the most technical sense) disregards its vast size. It really is a continent.

However, I'm not Australian myself, so I can't speak with any real authority on what the locals might think.

One of my best friends is an Aussie, always tease him as an islander. I know it is a continent. Hopefully I will get over there some day.
