This does not encourage me to buy a Kindle.

I'm reminded of the case of Alms for Jihad. At least those who already had copies could hold on to them.

I hope this dooms the Kindle, pour encourager les autres.

Because of this, I will not ever buy a kindle. This is why I won't buy an iPhone. I will not buy anything where the company I buy it from can changed the rules after I purchase. It violate contract law and common law, and my sensibilities.

Kejda bought me one for my birthday -- I'm loving all the free books so far...

Why anyone would hope this "dooms" the Kindle is beyond me. I remember people who refused to use a mouse. I happen to love my Kindle. I had the Kindle 1 and now am on Kindle 2. Why? I read fast. Very fast. My house is filled with paperbacks I will never read again. I go on a trip and take with me one (1) Kindle instead of a load of books. My nightstand is not filled with clutter and I'm regaining my family room. It's not perfect but it's damn good. Someone says hey have you read and if I want, I can download it in about 3 seconds. There are books I can pay for and books that are free. The formatting isn't perfect on some of the free ones but they are free. You don't like it? Don't get one. Another much ado about nothing.

The concept of a portable e-book reader is fine. The hardware is fine (well, primitive, but that'll improve). What needs to go is this business model of "selling" books that continue to exist only at the whim of the gatekeeper.
