What did they expect would happen as soon as amazon achieved a monopoly position in the market place? They can't blame the EU for this about tome the government used some teeth and used used the monopolies and mergers commission oh wait a minute was that not emasculated and turned in to the Competition Commission

No danger the tories will do anything

Don't understand that. My wife has a Kindle Fire HD. It accesses the web as you would expect a tablet to do and is a fraction of the price of an ipad. It is a bit amazoncentric but my wife loves it

I may be wrong but my understanding is that you can only use kindle to download books bought through amazon.

There are lots and lots and lots of free and very inexpensive Kindle books available.
