It doesn't matter to me that the bookstore attached to Pocketbook isn't any good, because I can get books from other stores. But this is just an example to explain that not all devices are locked in (or out), and I felt the need to give it because you weren't getting the point from just talking about the kindle and the nook.
So here's my point: when it comes to comparing the kindle and the nook in respect to the availability of books, you should compare the Amazon bookstore not only to the B&N store, but to the B&N store + most other stores that sell epub. Because the nook isn't locked in to the B&N store.
