If they don't like the store associated with their reader, why would they keep it? Isn't that a little like buying a pair of shoes that don't fit you well?

I'm not sure what this means. If you buy an e-reader, you do a minimum of due diligence to make sure you'll be able to access their bookstore. And if you suddenly find out you can't access it, why keep it?

See above.

I've fielded my share of questions about the Kindle, but I've never encountered someone who didn't like the book store and decided to keep it anyway.

Okay, but that's something like admiring someone's Linux apps and wanting to run them under Windows. It can be done (e.g., cygwin) but it's not trivial, and it's not something you should expect to work out of the box.
