I also don't like the stories I've heard of Amazon pulling content off readers. That qualifies as a showstopper for me right there. Last year I spent over $3K on physical books from Amazon.ca, so I'm not a hater. I'll keep buying physical books from them, but I don't trust their ebook side of things at all.

I believe the Kindle can read .mobi, which is open and a pretty easy format to work with? Calibre coverts between epub and mobi with ease.
