I know exactly the difference between Os and Hardware.
And I know what I said. The true is that on eink devices, you cannot read a different ebook format without hacking the device. I extrapolated that to the "hardware" word because when you buy the device, you buy thinking about a hardware: Nook, Kindle, Kobo, etc. You don't buy thinking about what software is really working and acting as interface to let you read your books.
So again, the format you can actually read on a eink device is tied up to the hardware or device's name: Nook with ePub, Kindle 3 with mobi, Sony with ePub (old DRM implementation), etc. Notice I am talking about out of the box eink devices, not tablets.
