Thanks for answering my questions. I hadn't realized the DRM issue was still unsettled in court. I'll have to keep an eye on what is eventually decided. I know my public library has some ebooks that are only in epub but their ebook collection overall isn't very good anyway so not being able to read all the library ebooks on my ereader isn't a deal-breaker. It's good to know that I would be able to back up my amazon purchases to my laptop. Is kobo the same way?

It looks like I'll either buy the kindle paperwhite or the kobo glo. The format issues with the kindle aren't as inconvenient as I thought they would be, and not inconvenient enough to disregard amazon's content availability and better prices.
