My pre-purchased Kindle is a week two so away from delivery, so don't want to buy from Amazon yet and I know I can't transfer via Barnes and Noble so that leaves Borders.
This is crazy how hard it is to BUY a current bestseller for a non Kindle or Nook ereader. I understand the concept of DRM but the big ebook sellers are restricting use of what I can use to read from, not what I do with what I purchase. Maybe the big three should agree upon one DRM format so one can buy an ereader for it's own merits, not what is available to read on it and one can purchase the ebooks of their choice.

I am not sure what you mean by can't transfer. If you have the latest firmware on your Jetbook, you should be able to read books from both Borders and Barnes and Noble since the Jetbook supports both DRM schemes.
