As you eluded to in your previous posts, the kindle does send information about the reader back to amazon, so I guess one would need both a new reader and a new store. Hopefully, ereaders like the boyue/Icarus/onyx that have an open OS like android where the user can actually control what the device does will become more common.
And as far as the stores go, I just read about new ones like Screwpulp and smashwords that sell directly for the authors. Seems like a better deal both for the consumer and the author. I suspect there will be lots of change in this industry in the years ahead....
