But that is not the intended market for ebook readers. Each company "thinks" they've solved the book file management issue.

They are aiming to create an experience that mirrors reading a paper book and those sorts of task they think are best handled on the device, regardless of how well it actually "works."

Again, look at the way they are marketed and you will see why it will probably be a long time before Amazon releases a PC/Mac reader for the Amazon Kindle.
