I love my kindle. I bought kindle 1, and upgraded to kindle 2, and love it even more for extended battery life and ease of use. However–kindle is a device I use for reading my books. I read 4-8 books per week, and don’t want to have the physical books to lug around and clutter my house. The ongoing war Amazon is having with the publishers has seriously cut into my ability to read books by my favorite authors on my kindle. I don’t care that Amazon is discounting these books in hardback or paperback–I bought the kindle so I wouldn’t have to have the physical books to deal with. It has been months, and the list of books I have not been able to read is getting longer and longer. Meanwhile, these books are available on other platforms. So, I guess I’m going to archive my kindle, and give my thousands of dollars of revenue to Barnes and Noble instead. In the fight between Amazon and the publishers, the consumers and the authors are losing.
