I had a huge rant about this as well the other day (over on blogger if you're interested: http://veetu-industries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/wee-rant-on-cult-of-kindle.html ). Brought up pretty much all the same points as yourself; don't want to read on the computer because I spend a lot of time here, can't curl up in bed with the desktop, annoyance at the seeming lack of support for anyone owning anything other than a Kindle.
