How is the store part of the device in the same way that brakes are part of a car? I have a Sony PRS-950 reader with 1,006 titles on it, and I've never bought a book from Sony.

My mom uses her eReader daily and it's a Sony 350. She's never bought from Sony either.

An eReader is a device to read eBooks. The parent store is one of MANY ways to get eBooks on that device.

Pretty sure it'd be tricky to use a car without ever using the brakes. I call analogy police.
