First of all I want to say that I probably buy more books online through you than everyone els combined. Online. I do tend to buy books at book stores more, particularily B&N, but that’s a different matter.
About this Kindle book reader you have. I’m sure it’s an excelent book reader. Sounds like some very nice features for readers, and in a few cases ok for authors as well.
That said, nothing I ever write will be published so that it may be sold to be read on the Kindle. At least not while Amazon maintains control over what a Kindle owner/carrier may have on his or her Kindel.
Further, unless you publicly anounce that you are completely dropping all digital rights management on the platform, I will be treating all e-mail advertising the Kindel as spam. It doesn’t matter to me if you find some way to bring the cost to the customer down to $1 for shiping and the hardware is free. You can have as many celebrities as you wish promoting it. If an e-mail shows up in my e-mail box promoting the Kindel, I will treat it as spam.
Thank you.
