I am sick and tired of new Windows systems. If I have adapted to one of their systems like XP or Win98, why not just fix those for users who don't want to change all the software they like and are still using? I guess I'll switch to Apple or maybe Linux. I still have DOS programs I like to run, some being my own.
Interesting that they design Kindle the way THEY want to, without input by users. Who wouldn't want to keep the SD card slot? That way you could keep unlimited numbers of books with you. Who wouldn't want a choice of using rechargeable or alkaline batteries or maybe another power source? Who wouldn't want to have a COLOR SCREEN option for those Jpegs? Who wouldn't want to be able to load directly from thumb drives? I'd like one powered by C batteries maybe. Bah, I'm waiting until they design something right. Instead their idea is to get people hooked in such a way that they have to keep spending on something.
This episode, and the fact that Kindle doesn't even have a card slot anymore, made it easy to decide to NEVER buy a Kindle. If I buy a book, I expect to keep it forever.
