Every now and then I start to think it could be fun and even useful to buy a Kindle. Then I read stuff like Amazon remotely wipes woman’s Kindle, and come to my senses.

I’d recommend an alternate reader and uploading the books via app (e.g., I have a nook color hacked into running android and upload content using Calibre or Dropbox). The convenience of the kindle is amazon’s whispernet, which is how the manage/remotely wipe the content; remove whispernet and you lose the one-click convenience but also the worry that your recently bought book will disappear.
