Why not simply install the free Calibre library on your phone? You sync over cable. You have your library. You can even download your kindle library to your pc and de-drm it so it works. And if it doesn't, simply find torrent with epub online, as you already paid for it to bezos.
I did when my Kindle broke, and although its awesome to just grab a book off of AA on my mobile browser and immediately be able to open it, the eye strain sucks compared to those old e-ink screens.
Alcoholics Anonymous has books now?
I agree. Thats mostly how I use it too. But I cant see most users doing what we do.
But for some people hooking up to their local library, getting their books they paid for online, and other such features are what they use their ebook reader for. Its more convienant for them, so loosing capability just cause Amazon wants more $$ is more what this indvidual is talking about.
