I would say you'll have to make a decision here.

Oh, I made my decision -- no way I'm drinking the Apple Kool-Aid and buying the locked-down iPad. Yeh, it's slick (give credit where credit is due) but it's HUGE, unwieldy, hard to read outside, rather delicate, has the built-in Apple luxury tax and just doesn't fit my lifestyle at all. Love my Windows phone with all its apps (including MobiPocket), and love my Kindle.
Apparently I'm in the very small camp of folks who want to carry around my entire collection of books with me. I can't be the only person who used to keep one book on my nightstand, one in my car, one in my briefcase, one in my desk drawer at work, and a medical journal or two open and read them all simultaneously.
I now use my phone (and now my Kindle) the same way. Even with my ICU schedule, I still average 4 books a week. And let's not forget that collection of old favorites I re-read 5 or 6 times a year.
With that, a wee bit of flash to add to the usability doesn't seem to me to be an unreasonable request!
