This is why, despite my love of eInk readers, I plan to leave the eInk world and buy an EXOPC in Sept. iRex Left us MobiPocket readers in the dust when they moved to epub. I didn't upgrade my reader. I know they are in chapter 11 but they certainly would have stayed with epub as they moved foreword. I would have lost my Mobipocket books.

I agree we are shut out from Kindle. Sure there are Kindle PC and iPad versions but we are not a forum for phone devices, etc. This group is all about eInk readers with some exceptions. Even with Mobipocket that is owned by Amazon I cannot put a Kindle book on my reader that supports Mobipocket. For my money we are shut out of Kindle books. That is criminal.

With the Slate I can have Mobipocket and epub live on the device. If I want to purchase a digital magazine or Newspaper that happens to have their own proprietary format I know I will be able to install it to my Slate. Amazon is helping kill these readers so we all move to Slates. I don't get it!!
