I did not make any comment after I created the poll, just to avoid any biased opinion but I can see a trend now.

And it surprised me a bit that book's availability is not one of the main features when choosing an ereader, not as per this poll. Which makes me think: or users simply do not care if they will find their favorites books online or not... or DRM cracking replaces that fear or obstacle.

I really weighted the book's availability criteria a lot and was the main reason why I sold my Nook and bought the Kindle 3 instead, giving the case I was not able to find, natively and without DRM removal, the computer books I like and need.
