At my Town Public Library they have loaner books in all the formats: Amazon, Nook, Sony, etc. However, they usually only have one or two copies and one must wait a long time to borrow them. Amazon Lending Library eBooks have no waiting time.
At the eBook page on Amazon, they show notices if publishers are inflating prices. One can simply skip those eBooks.
I keep an Excel Spreadsheet showing in decreasing order all my wish list Amazon ebooks by pages per price. I only buy the most pages I can get for a dollar of price. I have 97 eBooks in that spread sheet now ranging from 79.38 pages per dollar down to 14.24 pages per dollar. I'll probably never get to the bottom of that list since it takes a long time to read an 800 to 1,000 page eBook and new ones appear every week.
Right now eBibles are offered as separate Android Apps. Its also possible that each eBook may soon be offered as a separate Android App as well. That would make eBooks compatible with BOTH Nook and Kindle. It would be in the publishers' interest to do that.
I only have one pdoc which contains all my bible notes and was created by me. I don't understand why anyone would have more than few pdocs like that.
I still doubt that Amazon will ever offer easy compatibility with B&N and Sony ePub eBooks. It simply would not be profitable for them to do that unless forced to do so by the government.
I have done detailed price comparisons on the type of eBooks I like (history, war and biography) and Amazon has beaten all competitors on price so far as I have been able to determine.
