Despite being an avid reader, I don't find these compelling for a number of reasons. Primarily:
  • the price point is too high
  • even though Amazon has said that they'll keep content for perpetuity, they said that about Unbox too, and...
  • restrictions on non-Amazon content and formats
  • and (least importantly) did it have to be so ugly?

    Though ugly may be least important in that list, it's definitely an important factor. Did you ever see one up close? I've only seen the ad.
