I have emailed mobi docs to my Kindle and had them appear with no problem. Drag and drop works just fine. You just have to have them in a format the Kindle reads.

I don't know if Kobo and Sony can read BN books yet. I know for a while they could not because BN used a different ADE key then Sony and Kobo and Sony and Kobo would not add it to their readers.

Then you have the Nook which leaves most of the memory for BN books and a very small amount of space for non-BN books.

And doesn't Kobo use a slightly different EPUB varient that makes it a bit harder to read Kobo books on other machines?

All of the major e-readers have played the walled garden game on some level. It is easy enough to get around them. Limiting yourself based on that argument seems to me to be hiding a different reason for not wanting to buy a particular e-reader.

If someone doesn't like Amazon, then cool enough. But be honest about that and don't fall back on the fact that Amazon's wall is a foot higher then BN and two feet higher then KOBO and Sony.
