I wish people here and other places can make that distinction instead of being passionate about their e-readers just because they have one and they like it.

I agree with what you are saying and understand where you are coming from but that is a clear black and white advantage to own a device that supports the most widely used format. Yes fanboyish will always come through, heck I'm one of them
but the ability to shop around and have access to your local library is a HUGE plus for the nooks, sony's, kobo's. It just is.
If I were a kindle owner I would be very upset with Amazon and start directing some of my anger towards that company to push them to get ePub format supported. I really would. When basically every single ereading device supports it and the kindle does not, that's a red flag.
