Even if you buy from Kobo or Amazon.....I have a Kobo mini and buy kindle books from time to time and plan to buy from Kobo in future.... I would (and do) strip all my ebooks for personal use to put on the machines I want to use (currently the pb360, Opus, Kobo mini, and Nexus 7). I just don't trust even the big ebook companies. Too many stories (no pun intended) about disappearing ebooks to stores closing down without notice just makes me not want to trust any company. As these stories tend to remind me of the dark side of capitalism....The underlying slogan for many a company is "Profit, not just people"...
