In fact, since the kindle is a closed platform, feel free to lock me into amazon until I have bought enough books to pay it off. I would immediately order a kindle for $0 that forces me to buy the first 100 books at amazon (as long as the pdf function is not crippled). $100 / 50 and other combinations would also work. I do consider myself an early adopter. But the current asking price is too steep.
