re: #177 Charles
I don’t think it’s scary. Amazon says they’ll never do it again, and I believe them because it would be self-defeating after this uproar.
Apparently I have more faith in the free market than you do. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy Kindles. It’s very much in Amazon’s self-interest not to do something like this again, and they apparently realize it.
I’d still like to own a Kindle. I love the concept, and Amazon has good prices on their ebooks.
I’d really like to see the price go down, though… if it does, I may be persuaded to bite.
