Amazon just has this thing about trying to screw over it\u2019s customer\u2019s doesn\u2019t it. I hope people catch on, and I hope it really hurts their bottom line.<\/p>\n
Every 6 months Amazon comes out with the \u201cnew improved\u201d model of the Kindle \u2013 such that, people scrambling to buy their latest version find that the version they bought is instantly out dated by the next release 6 months later.<\/p>\n
Take for example: Kindle 2, then a few months later, Kindle DX, then a few months later (well a little bit more than a few months), Kindle Global, then a few months later, Kindle WiFi.<\/p>\n
Perhaps they don\u2019t realize how much they\u2019re going to piss people off by only offering these tiny little incremental upgrades, and as a result, trying to force people that want to have the best functioning reading device to continue to fork out money over and over as they make their pathetic little updates.<\/p>\n
I have caught on personally. I would love to buy the WiFi model, but first, it doesn\u2019t appear to be in DX \u2013 so I know that\u2019ll come out in about 6 months, AND, I\u2019m sure they\u2019re thinking of color sometime soon.<\/p>\n
No thanks Amazon & Jeff \u2013 I\u2019ll hold off for a long time to come, and I hope everyone else does too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
