In another recent thread, some people argued that if you own two different brands of reader, you should buy the book separately for each device, and that by format shifting you are thereby taking income away from publishers and authors.

I really can't agree with that argument. IMHO if you buy a book you should be free to read it on any device you own (but not, of course, to give unauthorised copies of it to anyone else).
