It is totally not right for Amazon to get exclusive content that we know a lot of people without a Kindle have been wanting for a long time now. I would not find the prospect of Amazon leaving the eBook market for good to be bad. In fact, I'd find it to be quite good.

Jon, I'm a bit curious ... are there no books that are available in Sony format that are not available in other formats? I mean, as long as you are saying that all ebooks should be available to everyone, and not just because they spent the money on an ebook reader, then I am assuming that you mean all ebooks should be able to be read on any device, computer, pda, whatever ... and not just that Amazon is at fault for having a format that is specific to the Kindle. Isn't the lrf format specific to the Sony? Or, am I reading more (or less) into your post than I should and the lrf format can actually be read on ebook readers other than Sony.
