PsyDocJoanne, are you sure the lack of access to all that Amazon content won't bug you? Or do you expect that virtually all books in the future will have e-book editions available in multiple formats?
ZOMFG, I can't access Amazon's e-content with my Reader! [jumps off bridge.]

Seriously, there are other reliable formats out there that are far less restrictive than Amazon's proprietary format, and I'll bet some will be here to stay. For example, I'm tickled pink with my Reader's formats. Besides the conversion utilities, it handles pdfs nicely now, and better yet it does ePub and the Adobe DE books which I can borrow free from the local library. All this in addition to the stuff for sale on Sony's site and the tons of compatible free content out there.

So no, I for one am not afraid of 'missing out' on e-books because I don't own a Kindle.
