I've been doing too much reading about the Kindle and not enough on it! LOL Apologies if this is a duplicate; a search didn't turn up what I was looking for.
I'd swear, somewhere in the last three days of Kindle rummaging on the internet, I'd seen some sort of quote from some Amazon executive about this, but for the life of me, no amount of searching is turning anything up. Is there an official or semi-official comment at this point that anyone can point me to?
At just four pages of books on the K2, like most of you, I'm already irritated as heck at the lack of even the simplest, non user friendly forms of content management....I cannot imagine what this will be like if I ever replicate most of my library on the thing as planned!
It seems like this has been a well vocalized issue from day one; I'd really like to know if it appears Amazon is paying any attention or not. I've been in the software industry for most of the last 15 years and can tell that much of the work needed for this feature is already present in one form or another--I can't help but think that the usual bureaucracy of a grew-too-fast company is what's bogging this down. I'd like to know they're at least paying some attention to the customer complaints on this issue, even if they're slow to implement it. If they're really not going to be working on it any time soon, this may be a deal stopper for me. Or I'm going to have to rethink how to manage it differently on my end, keeping significantly less on the device than I'd planned.
So if anything has been quoted from an actual Amazon source, I'd love to hear it.
(I swear, this and the screensaver issue make me want to take up hacking so I can reprogram the dumb thing. Or get up a petition to Oprah, since she seems to be the only end user with any clout. Maybe they'll actually listen to her.
