You won't be able to discount indie authors for much longer. I think we're seeing a serious sea change happening.

I'm sorry, I'm not being clear. I don't discount "Indie Authors Who Only Publish On Amazon" because obviously their work is crap. I discount "Indie Authors Who Only Publish On Amazon" because obviously they haven't quite yet gotten around to uploading their book to the other sites for various good reasons.
I don't know a single Indie Author that says, "Pssh, why be on four sites to reach four different eReader markets when I can publish exclusively with Amazon?" I mean, I suppose they exist, but I consider that PARTICULAR subset of Indie Authors to be so small as to be statistically insignificant in the "Who Has The Biggest Catalog" p*ssing contest.

In any case, my argument for a while now (and the reason for the poll I started) has been that the selection and prices at the handful of big general DRM stores is so comparable, that the "locked into Amazon" argument for choosing an ADEPT compatible reader over a Kindle seems pointless.

I think the ADEPT issue has always been library compatibility which - presumably - will go away as a warning as soon as Amazon joins Overdrive.
