I bought a Sony eReader, which does not support Amazon's exclusive format. Therefore I cannot (legally and easily) purchase ebooks from Amazon and conveniently read them.

I did not make my choice lightly. I looked at the matrix, read reviews, and thought about it for perhaps a month. I think I made a good choice.

But the result is that I can't buy books at my favorite book site any more. Amazon is a wonderful website. I'm always pleased if I can buy something from them instead of anywhere else because they have lots of information and are easy to buy from (and the ship fast, though that's moot for eBooks).

But I can't find any place on their website where they are looking for feedback or suggestions or input. Did I miss it? How can I tell them that I wish they would sell books in .epub format too?

And do you agree? Don't you want them to sell in .epub format too?
