Interesting.

I am kind of "stuck" with Amazon but not because the format or ereader, but because the awesome online bookstore and available titles. That's probably the reason why I don't have a Sony (kind of expensive but not a bad reader) or why I'm reluctant to get a Nook touch.

I like the Kindle 3, even after most recent B&N and Kobo news I think it is a good piece of hardware, but I buy, read and need, computer books. So on my case, it would be more difficult to abandon Amazon altogether.

I prefer to see ereaders as a tool. Of course, the user needs to be happy with the purchase. But with the stupid DRM protection (notice I did not say format) moving across vendors can be a pain, not without mentioning that I will loss whispersync which is kind of nice for my Amazon books and reading experience.

I want a nice ereader too, one that fits my needs, but I also want to keep enjoying Amazon's buying experience and its electronic book's collection.
