I've read about plenty of people thinking f maybe changing readers but end up not doing so because they would lose their libraries. This is not a joke and not something said by people who are not Amazon eBook customers. If you had a lot of eBooks in a given format and changing readers would cause you to lose access to these eBooks, you might not change. It's that simple.
It's not like owning a Sony 505 and deciding you like the nook with glowlight better and your eBooks can go with you and can make the swap without losing anything.
