All four of them, at least two of which are unlikely to ever have a better deal than Amazon.
If looking for th best deal and selection is important to you, you'd be foolish to choose a reader that 'locks you out' of Amazon.

2. your epub library goes where you go. I have tons of epub books. If I decieded I want to go to Sony or Kobo etc. they come with me.
without having to go through the process of stripping and converting. And remember converting books from one format to another doesn't always come out clean. There are many times they become a mess.
So yes the ePub argument is fair.

Fair, IF you don't convert them and IF you switch readers, two big IFs that have to occur together to be relevant and seemingly apply to almost no one, but if they apply to you, and matter to you, by all means, get an epub reader.
It is possible that there could be a problem in conversion, but like Harry, I've never noticed a significant problem, and it's just as likely to find a problem in source book to begin with.
