If I was a Kindle owner I would be contacing Amazon over this to register my displeasure. I think the action which Amazon have taken is horrible for their consumer and I would advise every kindle owner to contact them and let them know this is not acceptable.
However I must admit it makes my choice of ebook seem even more desirable.
I have the iREX Iliad ebook and would not take the kindle over it

Its 16 gray levels, 158 ppi compared to the kindles 150 ppi, its touch screen, it's lighter at 388g compared to the kindles porky 535g. It is capable of running Linux apps such as browsers etc, many have been ported. It has MMC, CF Type II, USB Memory expansion slots. It supports USB 1.1, headphone, WiFi 802.11b, 10/100 LAN, it supports PDF, HTML, TXT, JPG, BMP, PNG, PRC/MOBI, DJVU, fb2, CHM, Plucker, zTxt, TCR, RTF, OEB, EPUB
A ebook reader with the ability to run a browser is a great deal of use to me as it permits the ability to read articles online. I also have a bash shell, ftp and email client and other useful tools which extends its further than a generic ebook.
