Hmm, well let's see. I didn't buy a Kindle originally because they couldn't check out library books. There were some ereaders available that could check out mobipocket books, but my local library didn't have very many books to choose from. So I waited to buy my reader until I was fairly certain of which format the library was going to support, and which reader I could most easily use to check out those books.
Now the game changes. I wouldn't be so upset if Amazon hadn't been the originator of making sure that epub readers couldn't read mobi books. Like I said in a previous post, if that hadn't happened, all the current readers would use mobi format. And we wouldn't be re-buying all the library books in, yet again, another format.
