I entered the e-ink reader market with the Sony 505, it had a proprietary format then, LRF. Not too long after I sat next to a guy on the plane who showed me how easy it was to buy a book on his Kindle while we waited for the door to close - less than a minute. My first thought was "Rats!" Then I justified my purchase with thinking how classy the Sony looked next to the Kindle, but I really liked the functionality of the Kindle.
When the Kindle 3g came out, I jumped into the water. With Calibre, my Sony LRF purchases, Fictionwise purchases, etc. all work on my Kindle. I don't need an SD card because a 100 - 400 books on the Kindle is sufficient for me even when traveling (unless I'm gone for a year).
Amazon's Kindle Fire is another matter. I bought the original one, but I will not get another-don't hate it, but am not enamoured as I am with the e-ink ones.
