But see, that's the thing--with Amazon, I can access my books from my reader natively, without using any horrible browser. (and in my opinion, the web browser in both my Kobo and my Kindles is horrible and pretty much unusable) I don't want to spend 10 minutes trying to open a web page on my e-ink reader. I want to be able to touch a button and connect to a list of books and download the ones I want, and only the ones I want. I want to be able to do this with books bought from anywhere, or books I've created myself, or documents/web pages that I've sent to my device to read later. I can do this with my Kindle, why can't I do it with my Kobo? In my opinion, this is really Amazon's killer feature, and it's what keeps me from getting rid of my Kindles. I had high hopes when I found out about the Pocket integration, then I realized that it only includes a very narrow definition of what is an "article" on a web site.
