Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Dear Fellow Customers: Amazon, one of the "big six" online stores, has clearly communicated to me that, regardless of my viewpoint, they are committed to charging $259 for the Kindle. I have expressed my strong disagreement and the seriousness of my disagreement by refusing to buy a Kindle. I want you to know that ultimately, however, if I want a Kindle I will have to capitulate and accept Amazon's terms because Amazon has a monopoly over their own machine, and I will have to purchase one even at prices I believe are needlessly high for e-book readers. I will at that point decide for myself whether I believe it's reasonable to pay $259 for an e-book with DRM. I don't believe that all of the major e-book manufacturers will take the same route as Amazon. And I know for sure that many print publishers will see this as an opportunity to provide attractively priced paper books as an alternative. Kindle is a business for Amazon, and it is also a mission. They never expected it to be easy! Thank you for being a reader.
