I suppose the solution would be to find a database somewhere else that has the information we want and tap into that.

I'm sure glad I have had the app. Unfortunately, it will eventually get old and unusable as the iPhone OS evolves.

This may be legal, and Amazon might have a right to do it, but it's freaking evil and causes me to think twice about buying things at Amazon now. But unfortunately, they have too much of what I want and little competition. But when I get get it elsewhere, you can bet I'm going to now.


I can't think of anything I've ever wanted that was only available from Amazon. Is it really the case today that they sell things you want or need that no one else can provide? Are you mad enough at them to even do without some of your "wants" if they fall into that category?

Like the article said, this is STUPID! Flat out shooting themselves in the foot. I'm going to find an email address and write them and tell them. Plus, next time I run into my friend's son who helps run the Amazon MP3 store, I'm going to give him an earful.


Because, of course, he sets policy on the use of the whole of Amazon's content.

Your loss


Or not. I have yet to buy anything from Amazon. I also have yet to feel like I'm meaningfully hurting myself for that avoidance.

Wrong.

It's not my opinion that I've never bought anything from them.
It's also not my opinion that they've never been the sole available source for something that I wanted.

Ergo, it is not a matter of opinion that I have not lost out by not patronizing them.

What're you? A stockholder? It's somehow important for you to believe that Amazon is important to everyone?
