Steven, people have lots of choices in the ereader market. However, it seems that most choose the Kindle platform (book sales numbers released by authors here and at kindleboards are proof, all of them indicate Amazon sales are leading by far the alternatives). I am happy that I do not fall within Marcy's definition of sheeple (look at my list of devices, which can also include the original PRS-500 that I lost a long time ago). I've tried it all and am very satisfied (actually not satisfied, excited) about my Kindle experience.
