I think that the Kindle would be much more successful if it allowed many more formats than just the Amazon approved books (in Topaz format i think).
If I could carry around all of my kindle books and a pdf of my homework assignments and free e-books found online etc etc I would be much more interested in buying a kindle.
Also, I never actually read the Terms & Agreements for services, but for the kindle it apparently does matter because Amazon is remotely deleting books that people have legitimately purchased. There is another post on HN with an article about it. If Amazon could delete things on my Kindle I would never get one and stick to the good old paper versions.

Amazon is remotely deleting books that people have legitimately purchased If you defined "legitimately" as "gave money for", yes. Legally, no. Just because I pay money and think a transaction is legal doesn't make it so.
- conorgil145 17y agoJust because I pay money and think a transaction is legal doesn't make it so. That is true. However, that is again Amazon's fault because they sold him the book without having the rights to do so. Instead of admitting their mistake and using excellent customer service to fix the problem they just deleted the book without any thought for the customer. They could have sent him a paper copy without him even asking, notified him before the deletion so he could save his notes and/or dealt with the publisher directly and obtained the rights to avoid the whole situation.
