Graham, I think you have a point. To get what we want requires more than one eReader - because of DRM and formats and contract restrictions.
Wouldn't it be better if when we splurged on 2 eReaders - one was small and very portable and the other was a larger screen that allowed a full "page" view?
My Kindle was a Christmas gift. I think it is very good. However, I suggested to my partner that she get the Nook WiFi when it came out - because it was easier to put library books on it. She has NOT bought an eBook yet. So she reads ePubs on her Nook, and the others on her laptop. Nook is not very good for PDF unless the book was designed for a smaller page. I thought she would end up buying eBooks from B&N from time-to-time, but that has not happened.
While I don't buy many eBooks from Amazon (I have bought more from SmashWords), I do find that I look forward to a weekly Magazine subscription on my Kindle. This was actually a surprise to me.
