I think that's the main advantage of an ipad / Android tablet over an e-ink reader. You install apps for multiple sources and can buy from them all. Currently I am unaware of a widely available e-ink e-reader that allows that. A rooted Android e-ink reader should do it though. Shame you can't get one out-of-the-box in N.America.
