Cracked, like so you can load your own TXTs and such on it? I thought that was a standard feature.

Indeed an interesting article.
Makes me feel scared as a person living in Israel.

I thought the standard feature was that amazon can delete any of your books anytime on your maschine?

Oh, yes, it sounded like "we therefore swear (once this PR-Disasters is over) never again (allthough we will keep the ability in the backhand) to touch (yes, thats what we built the Remotesceptre infor) or to delete (replacing a book through a nearly related one doesen┬┤t count) our customers e-books again. This oath may last till Hell freezes over and the Pirats start ice-skating on it."
It was a heartbreaking little ceremony, i cried tears (of laughter)

I really want to get an ebook reader, but after researching it a little I decided to hold off until flexible (or at least, less crack-prone) screens arrive in 2-3 years. By then there'll be a half-decent knockoff for a quarter the price, too.
