I am thinking about getting into the whole e-reader thing, but I do not know which store to use. I am only going to be reading on my Android Phone, Windows Computer, and, if possible, Linux Computer. I want to know which store would be the best and why. So far, I have been playing with samples from each on my phone and computer. On the phone, I think my favorite by a small margin is the kindle app. On the computer, my favorite (by a larger margin) is the google book store. The google store also has the advantage of being in browser giving me access anywhere with a computer. Also, I believe (please correct me if I am wrong) the google store is the only one I could use on Linux. The disadvantage is that someday I may want to get an ereader and do not want all my money tied up in books that won't sink my page number between all my devices. I really do not like the font they chose on the computer version of the kindle reader, so I am starting to think that it may be down to the nook or Google books. I am sure I could either get used to the font or change it (if I can find the right file, it should not be too hard), so if there is a good reason to go kindle, I would love to hear it. Anyway, what is your take on which one I should invest my money into books on?

Are you willing to remove drm from your purchases if you are then look at calibre it should work for reading on linux and Windows and should allow to convert ebooks to any format you want for your android device. So you can use any app you like.
