Do I wish it was open and p2p? Yes. But do I want to avoid markets to spite myself? No. Carrying 50 books is problematic. I can do it with my Kindle without a thought. It isn’t perfect, and if someone opens it up or fights Amazon to be more open, I’m in. But lower prices for books, saving paper/trees, using the grid to increase author’s incomes…not bad things. Many blogs are making money distributing through Kindle.

It isn’t Nirvana, but my tentative view is, I love mine. If that is selfish or wrongheaded, I’d have to be convinced further. The market argument to me is compelling.
