Don’t matter, ain’t giving up my Kindle for anything.

Furthermore, Mitt Romney wouldn’t have won if Amazon donated 16 million to him, and the GOP is not likely to win in the future regardless of how much money anyone gives the democrats, because the GOP has abandoned its base.

I have an iPad which has kindle on it. I have over 200 books on it. Most were from Amazon. If I boycotted every place which does not agree with me, there would be nothing left.

the work done by the Amazon corporation directly for the Obama campaign should have been considered an “in kind” contribution, given a dollar value and subjected to any limits corporate donations have

I have just ended doing anything with Amazon ever again.
