With so few manufacturers in the ebook reader market, and all the main ones aiming to tie users to their own hardware forever, that won't be a problem for most people.

I wouldnt know a thing about Smashwords or Baen if I hadnt come to this site. I knew there were other sites to get ebooks but I had no idea what they were. Main place I got my books was Amazon and I didnt bother with Borders since they always seemed overpriced. They were overpriced on hardcovers, never touched their ebooks. Are the ebooks there overpriced too?
