If you're like most consumers, you've bought about two dozen songs from
Apple's iTunes. Where do the hundreds or thousands of other songs on
your machine come from? They're ripped from CDs you own, or those your
friends have lent you, or from files you've "shared" on the Web. It doesn't
matter. What matters is that the iPod improved the way you listened to music: It let you carry most or all of your
music collection with you, without having to pay a penny to do it. And
the Kindle can't do that for books.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2007/11/why-amazons-kindle-is-no-ipod.html"><DIV class="asset-header">
