But if you're worried about greed ruining a good product, Kindle Scribe is an Amazon product and Amazon isn't exactly known for being a champion of its customers (though maybe I'm unfairly conflating their web store with the tablet branch). > or put it in writing that they will not change their service offerings Also I put zero faith in what a company puts in writing unless it's in a legally binding contract. Anything else is trivial to change or ignore.

For something really important, I binding contract might not be enough. IIRC there was a U.S. bankruptcy ruling where supposedly never-sharable info was sold off. Maybe having the relevant technical data (keys, source code, etc.) held in escrow by a trustworthy party would work?

> (though maybe I'm unfairly conflating their web store with the tablet branch). this is exactly what you are doing. I've owned every kindle model since it was first released. I no longer shop on amazon's marketplace and cancelled my prime membership. If i want to buy "made in china" products i can cut out the middleman and go to aliexpress. The Kindle on the other hand is a solid product.

Amazon may have many flaws, but it is pretty much known for being a champion of its customers.
