You have to let the chatter about the exploit die down enough so that you can pull the heist off with better success. Going out and attempting it immediately after Black Hat is too risky and the sign of foolish thief.
But seem to have failed to realize that you don't need a Kindle to download the Kindle app to any Android or iDevice and connect with your Amazon.com account. Hell, I have the Kindle App on my Motorola Droid phone and get my books for it on there without shelling out the higher $$ for the physical Kindle device.

is the ROI of college actually going to benefit you? If you've got a good skillset you could use those traditional years building something useful and putting experience on paper instead of throwing dollars at a piece of paper that says "Hey! I know things... in theory".
What's the global consensus? Is everyone open to outside-the-box solutions? Or do they want the "comfort" and "warm fuzzy feeling" of Microsoft familiarity?
