Being the killer feature on the upgrade, I definitely agree they should've made it clearer that they don't support non-US addresses. I don't expect Yelp recommendations and other such things to work, but maps and routes is something that's

I'd pay for a "Kindle highlights & notes, for groups." I very often have the "everyone in my team must read this book" impulse, buy a bunch of copies, and then it's really hard to sync who's where, what they're finding interesting and

tl;dr: They totally blew it by announcing the changes (and the backing out of the changes) through a measly blog post. They should've called the press, taken questions, given it their spin. Firing the low-end of the customers probably makes
