So why argue? I like both my NOOK & my Kindle3. And if I had more money to spend, I'd try a few other readers.

As for whether one is tied in or not is irrelevant for many of us. If I want amazon books I use my Kindle because I am not tech savvy & don't want to try & figure out how to strip DRM. Same for my NOOK. So technically I'm not tied into either store, but since I don't want to figure out how to strip DRM...I basically am. I don't soft root my e-readers either. I just want to read in the easiest way I can. So I saved my pennies (lots of pennies ) & bought both. I realize I'm lucky I can do that.
