I may be wrong, but if you buy a book, you are able to then read it in multiple formats, I believe.. if that is true, then i am extremely happy. I own a Sony Reader and I love it to pieces, but I've been torn about moving to the Kindle for a while now. I like my epubs, and I've been trying to stay faithful to sony, but I feel like the Kindle is really starting to get ahead. I mostly read from my Sony at home, and occasionally in a pinch read off my iphone during lunch or at a waiting room, etc. outside of my home. This means that when I buy books off of booksonboard, typically where I get my epubs, I can't read them easily off of the iphone (i believe there is an app.. bluefire or something like that that can handle DRM'ed epubs, but i haven't tried it out). If I'm able to access a book I bought in different formats = win, since I won't have to agonize over whether I'll lose any books I bought if/when I move to the Kindle.

I am also definitely concerned about reports of errors. Nothing irks me more than buying an ebook and then finding it full of errors, or missing scene breaks, etc. It really totally ruins the reading experience. I *prefer* ebooks to paper books. It's more convenient and comfortable. But I don't want to sacrifice quality for that.. not to the extent that some poorly copied/formatted ebooks make me do after paying good money.

anyways just my quick thoughts. i may be completely off base, i only just heard about this and did a little bit of research on the site before posting here.
