I don't "whine" about Sony practices. They are free to do whatever they please, as long as it is legal. I reserve right to warn others against repeating my mistakes, though.

Like I said, I recognize that there are currently limitations in the ereader market. I should have been more specific - people who buy those devices, complain, and then chastise people for looking for open-source alternatives are the ones I find ironic. I do get that there is currently no widely available/well-liked ereader that is truly open source (although there are many that are a hell of a lot better than some of the big names).
