An open system enables you to switch to any brand of reader any time you want without any hassle. My book collection is mine to read on any devise.

Well most people that come to this forum know that is simply not true, if one liberates one's books. I personally side load 100% of my content, with the exception of the free book a month I get from the lending library. I buy it, liberate it, and fix it up to look how I want, then use Calibre to put it on my Kindles.
My Kindle is as open as my Sony.
