"Be happy with your phone. You got a good deal. . . but you are stuck with a built in Kindle. We have iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Reader, Book reader, Books for Free, Newsstand, Nook (now called Barnes & Noble Reader), Stanza, Sony's eReader, and several other eReaders. . . all free."
Oh I know I got a good deal and lots of other people have as well. And I am sure you do understand that the Firephone can use apps too right? Being stuck with kindle is hard to take, kinda like being stuck with having to drive a Porsche or a BMW or a Rolls Royce. Though you should know we can read stuff from all the other formats as well with free apps. But why would anyone want to?
Of course I understand it. . . but you've never tried a truly GOOD user interface. You don't understand what you are criticizing. You think it is all the same. . . just like the Android users and Windows users think that every phone and computer is just as miserable an experience to work with as theirs. I cannot tell you how many ex-Windows users have said to me that computing is FUN again after switching to a Mac from Windows.
