I own last years Kindle Scribe model and enjoy reading with it. Technically, I probably just like e-ink devices and this was my first e-ink purchase. The Notebook's (now Workspace?) are a compelling experience but it is unclear how the syncing feature protects data privacy. Pen and paper still has a cozier vibe when trying to keep drafts of ideas secure.

Two critiques: - Kindle would be a much better product if kindle.amazon.com took me to a dedicated UX that is not washed out by the e-commerce bloat that currently surrounds it. - You have to carefully purchase Kindle editions of books. There are definitely Kindle edition books for sale that are digitally scanned, imported, and compiled as a Kindle edition with no proof reading having occurred leaving you stuck with typo riddled messes.

I've _never_ read an ebook w/o finding at least one typo --- and that includes _Dune_ which I didn't download until after the ebook had been out for over a decade ("pogrom" was mis-spelled as "program" and there was an error in formatting in the glossary) --- but this happens w/ print books as well, my second printing of Tolkien's _The Fall of Arthur_ had a typo (which when reported, I was promised would be fixed in subsequent printings).

The worst was the free copy of Heinlein's _Space Cadet_ I got from Sony on my PRS-505 because I was browsing their store on a day when they offered a $10 credit --- it was so riddled w/ typos that I had to get a print copy from the library to determine what some of them were.... the hilarious thing is that that "purchase" made me eligible for the ebook price fixing settlement, really should have kept and framed that check.

This is unacceptable. Typo's are not just aggravating but as they accumulate they begin to veer towards mutating the authors original intent.

In the universe of the Butlerian Jihad are you SURE that replacing "program" with "pogrom" was a mistake?
