  I think the big difference is that Amazon is selling the books and advertising that a benefit of buying the book from the Kindle, as opposed to other sources, is that you get an audio book experience as well a text experience. Remember these authors aren't selling plain text version of books that can be read by any computer. Amazon promised to protect the text version with their DRM technology. However Amazon, without the author's consent, is breaking their own protection to give itself an exclusive advantage over all other sellers of the material. I think the authors feel that the only one who should be able to assign such exclusive rights, is the original copyholder. And remember, Amazon has contracts, which they have a special duty to execute in good faith, with many of these same authors to sell audio versions of their works.

• Live Search for Windows Mobile is a different product. When you do a search it give you the option of saving the results to contacts. I agree with JRockDetroit1 Live Search for WinMo is a great product, but Google on the desktop still gives better search results. Live Search is getting better though.
