Like disabling functionality, Spying, and deleting users books without permission. please head over to the article http://www.defectivebydesign.org/amazon1984 and consider signing it.

I don't understand the Kindle thingy, sounds impossible to buy outside of United States.
(expensive i mean)
:(

I'm just anti-kindle in general. They are overpriced, and overly specialized. Get a netbook instead :)

I have a Kindle 2 and I enjoy it greatly. The e-ink is easy on the eyes. As for DRM, I'm yet to buy a book, I'm either still reading free e-books offered from Amazon, or Public domain books.

I plan to write Amazon regularly as a consumer of the product about the problem with DRM.

I've already let Amazon know that I was about to buy a Kindle 2 when news of their sloppy handling of DRM and customer issues chased me away.

Which is too bad... I've given the original Kindle a looking at, and that electronic paper technology is so very nice.
