Learn to read. It looks not thruthful to you because you put things into it which I never said.
You said, quote: " then you have to go through the cumbersome process of downloading the Kindle version of any of our books to your PC, then mail the downloaded file as attachment to your Kindle account." Which is simply not true. It is neither necessary to download books first to the PC, nor it necessary to mail the file as an attachment to your Kindle account. Agreed compared to the K3 the Kindle Fire has taken a step backward re simplicity of download from PG. As a customer, I called this to Amazon's attention soon after I got my Kindle Fire -- that they had broken compatibility with previous models. They promised to fix the problem. Except that they never did. On a more positive note, the Fire's support of mobi8 is a great improvement over mobi7. The bottom line, is however Marcello, just how exactly do you think using PG to shill for Google is going to move the world of free books forward? And what exactly is your superior state of knowledge compared to the actual customer which allows you to suggest you know best? People buy computers, and tablets, for wide variety of reasons. Do you really think, for example, that the primary reason customers buy an iPad or an iPhone is to read PG books? Amazon does crappy things, Apple does crappy things, Google does crappy things, Microsoft does crappy things, etc. PG would do better to spend their limited credibility attacking corporate actions which directly restrict copyright freedoms, such as massively extended copyrights, preventing free distribution of "risen to the public domain" books by legal side agreements, distributing public domain books under DRM, making copyfraud statements and claims about their "ownership" of expired books or images, etc., etc. etc. Why don't you instead use your front page rants to expose all these more serious abuses -- by ALL of the leading players?
