By your definition, NO eBook reader is "legal" to use then, because on none of them is it possible to install Linux without the associated reading application. You can't install Linux on a Sony Reader without Sony's reading application, so does this mean that, in your view, it is "illegal" to use a Sony Reader?
You are seriously saying that all these companies are selling illegal products? With respect, I'm sure that they all employ lawyers who know rather more about what is or is not legal to sell than you or I do.
This strikes me as being a quite ridiculous argument
