Proprietary Formats
Let me see if I have this straight. I thought it was only Amazon who had a proprietary format. B&N has one, too? Sony? Kobo?

I'm not talking about old books or freebies, I mean new, just out books. I know everyone can read the free books.

If what I am thinking is correct, every store that sells books, as well as a reader, would like you to only buy books from then, so their readers are set up to just about force you to do that.

I thought epub was supposed to be a universal format. It seems, however, that there is epub for B&N, epub for Sony, epub for Kobo (kepub, whatever that is??) and finally epub for people who only read free or old books.
