seems to me that _project_gutenberg needs to make it easy for us to put p.g. e-books on our kindle accounts.
The "Review" doesn't fly on this basis either, in that it has been easy to put PG books on Kindles prior to the Fire for many years, using that "live book on books" I created known as "Magic Catalog" which I encouraged PG to pick up and make their own, except that PG never did.
It's time to stop whining, and start doing. I haven't bothered reading the rant/review, because I have little interest in the Kindle, and even less in Mr. Perathoner's opinions. But it appears that he has posted an opinion piece at gutenberg.org without prior approval, without collaboration, and without any editorial oversight. So why don't you do the same thing? All volunteers at Project Gutenberg are equals. Just write your praises/review of the Kindle and ask Mr. Newby to post it next to Mr. Perathoner's. If Mr. Perathoner can do it, there's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to do it as well, and then readers can make their own decisions.
