I prefer my ereaders ePUB capability which allows me to buy books pretty much anywhere really with the assurance they will be readable with out any conversion.
If you are into removing DRM and converting ebooks then perhaps the Kindle offers more choices than simply buying at Amazon all the time.

But the thing about that is, if they're drm'd... which would include MOST** in-copyright books, there's no guarentee you'll be able to do that. If someone has bought books from the Nook E-book store, and decides they want the new Sony reader coming out, those books won't work on the e-reader.
Being readable without conversion isn't going to work for everything. Because there's drm added on top of the epub.
