iPad is open because it reads all the proprietary format ?   
Everyone, without exception, using the same format. So any book from any shop can be read on any device. That would be openness.

 I'd like openness, too. Which device do you recommend that offers that now?
I love my iPad as a reader, largely because I can read books from multiple bookstores. I don't buy iBooks, because I don't want my content tethered to any one hardware maker.
