Then I bought my Kindle2i - never had any problems (apart from geo restrictions, which applies to any book from that publisher). I had dealt with Amazon before, and found them really good, fast to ship and a great customer service. Buying ebooks from Amazon is just one-click, and it's on your reader...
Because of all the talk of epub, I bought over a period of time a few, dedicated to that format.... Still had problems with ADE, and ended up selling them...
Then Sony 650 came out on special, and I just had to have it... Still had problems with ADE, but learned to strip the DRM...
I haven't read ONE book on the Sony, yet...
Amazon's marketing is smart... They don't get their bread and butter from selling Kindles, but from selling books...  |
To be honest, I've never tried ADE... At least, I've used it to download a book so I could strip the DRM (yes, I've only ever bought 1! epub book!)
I never bought a reader because "it supports epub"... As a matter of fact, I bought my first dedicated reader (of the new batch) because it supported mobi... (my first dedicated reader is from a time where nobody knew the word epub yet and rocketbook and mobipocket were the buzz words...).
And on my Sony I've not yet read one epub, as I'll reformat them to pdf
