what a myopic viewpoint.

yes, to see what kindle-hardware-owners
are "really going to experience", you might
have to get a kindle.  or you might not...

but to see what kindle-for-iphone users
are "really going to experience", you might
have to get an iphone.  or you might not.

and to see what kindle-for p.c. people
are "really going to experience", you might
have to get a p.c.  or you might not.

and maybe vista users will see something
that might be different from windows7 users,
and windows xp might be different entirely,
so you'll need to get each of those flavors,
and...  now that i think about it, you should
definitely get every version of the iphone,
because there might be differences there,
and the ipod-touch might be different too,
and the ipad is most definitely different,
and... do you see how ridiculous this gets?

because i'm willing to bet some good money
that in the vast majority of cases, what you'll
find is that the app on all these platforms will
read in your .mobi file and end up displaying
_the_exact_same_words_in_the_same_order_.

and that's all that counts, folks.  sincerely.

when you show us some _real_ differences
in display from one machine to the next,
i will be happy to pay attention to _that_...

otherwise, you're just a bunch of pinheads.

so really, go back to trying to decide what
a paragraph is, because _that's_ important!
