I just got mine. What seemed odd to me is that the From name was Kindle Direct Publishing, and it is an amazon.com address, but the site is called "Readers United."

I appreciate Amazon's position here. There have been some other posts on HN where a few folks have made strong points in favor of Amazon. But I don't like how this site is presented as a readers effort with that name.

I too, just got mine. As someone who is still kind of confused (and unaffected) by this issue, Amazon may have had on me the opposite effect of what they expected. The following just rubbed me the wrong way:

- Opening with George Orwell (it felt like a milder form of Godwin's)

- Boiling the issue down to "We want lower e-book prices. Hachette does not." I thought there was a lot more to it than that?

- "We have noted your illegal collusion."
