While I agree, there's a caveat. The eco-system model makes it harder to change. Once you own piles of e-books from Amazon, are you likely to switch to Kobo, or vice-versa? Some will, but many won't. With a car, or a model of computer far newer than your previous one, you're almost starting from scratch each time.
