Title: please support open standards (the kindle dosen't)
Product review: The problem with the kindle is that it dosent support an open ebook format such as epub. Instead it supports amazons own proprietary format. This means that you are forever bound to buying books for your kindle through amazon. It also makes me concerned that amazon would try to "control" book publishing through their ownership of the digital format.Is this just paranoid nerdy ranting? Maybe, but please look at the New York Times article below. It reports how amazon accessed kindles without the owners consent and deleted books.[...]I would encourage everyone to consider buying an e-book that supports an open format such as the epub format. This includes sonys e-reader and Barnes and Nobles nook and many others.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
