Did I just hear a door close?

In case you're living under an internet rock, you probably know that Amazon has purchased Lexcycle, the company that created the fantastic iPhone ebook reader Stanza.

My wariness about this is summed up in The Industry Standard's article: "Stanza has been a proponent of open eBook standards like EPUB, RWW notes, while Amazon has always kept its system relatively closed."

I'm not sure whether to swallow uneasily, groan with cynicism, or sit back, smile, and hope for a revolution in corporate ethics.
