f* the kindle and the authors guild

I’m sorry but I have to say this cause it angers me. Kindle is a great product. Hands down the best current e-book out on the market. The newest version came out with a built in feature to read the ebooks to you whenever you didn’t feel like reading. So essentially your ebooks would become audiobooks. What amazing feature for the lazy, and most of all the sight impaired.

Because of dumb-bums like Authurs Guild whining about the copyright issues, the ebook reading out loud feature was crippled! What about the sight impaired people who want’s to read the book and their is no audio version? ever thought about that? Paper is dying format, and it should just die. It’s wasting trees, and creating trash which is further polluting the earth. Most of the books written today anyways is probably a shitty book anyways, so who gives a damn about your stupid copyright. Ok, I’m just ranting. Copyright is important but this audio feature thing on kindle is so stupid. What about computer? they can read any format you throw at it, even e-books… should we cripple our computers to? Should we rob the impaired of fairness and equality in life to enjoy already poorly written books?

Authors Guild, please… wake up and smell the technology. Move into the future and embrace the change and quit being greedy trying to squeeze every dime out of everyone.

I still love the kindle, but crippling this feature has now stopped me from purchasing one.
