Those of you who hate the States, move to China. Feel for the Iraqui, move there. And shut up.

If you are really renting an ebook then is should be stated and priced as such. But, I understand both sides of the coin. I love ebooks and don't mind the price but I do believe it should be possible to transfer ownership to a different device. That is why I convert all music to mp3. oh well.

People this day and age are so blasted worried about ownership... all the "me" people. Do you think you really own your home? Your property? Good luck with that. You'll be worm food in a few years anyway.

Forget for a minute that you are "buying" a book but just renting it. People rent movies daily from Blockbluster, etc. and don't mind paying $5 to rent and not get to keep the movie. Well, pretend when you "buy" your ebook you are just renting it but for a couple more bucks. I mean, most people don't read a book more times than they would a movie unless it's technical in which case you wouldn't buy an ebook anyway. I love my Kindle and the "rental" price of the DRM'd material suits me fine. If you don't like it, go to the bookstore, buy the hardcopy, and quick whining!!!!!

He was basking in his money and letting no-clue marketeers choose the garbage to peddle. Over-priced, crappy stuff and Thalheimer made out pretty good in the end though they took back a little of his golden parachute.

Walt is clueless and so are you. Frickin' twenty something Diaz still has the kitty lick the cream off his face. Walt is irrelevant and ignorant. I have worked in the PC and embedded industry for 30 years and the EEE PC is the best effort for affordable open source for everyone. Diaz, tell mommy to help get you a real job!!

Most 20 somethings don't read because TV and video games are more fun. Whatever. The Kindle is great (and I have been using one for two months) because I can carry, in my case 10 books around in one package and read which ever one I feel like reading at the moment. Tech books one moment, polital reads another. A little later a book on health and later a novel. Only one thing to carry and I can buy more at a moment's notice. The DRM?? Who cares, I usually have to take books to GoodWill when I am done with them. No more!!! (sorry GoodWill!!)

I have to agree one hundred percent. Although Adam drops a few too many f-bombs in the process, I have to say he is "spot on". I see Engadget (leftist/socialist Leo Laporte's favorite) can only pull it off if they keep Veronica Belmont's picture in every other frame.
