Amazon locks you into the Kindle with their DRM. Sony does not lock you into theit reader with their DRM. With Sony, you can read DRMed books via eBook Library in Windows. Amazon does not allow Kindle eBooks to be read with anything other then a Kindle. They do not have any sort of computer program that reads Kindle eBooks. So if you were to lose your Kindle somehow or it broke, you'd ether have to purchase a new Kindle or do without your eBooks. If the Kindle breaks and Amazon says it's something uou did or the warranty is over, there is no repair. It's buy a new one or do without.
I don't know of any of the other reader companies that do not have a repair option.
