I buy nearly all my books from Amazon. I read a lot of them on a Kindle but I also read them on a Kobo and a Nook and a phone using Moon+. I do prefer the Kindle but not by a lot. The fact that the books come from Amazon makes it a bit nicer but that isn't why I use the Kindle most. I just like it better.
I do buy a book while browsing the Kindle store from the Kindle at times but the vast majority of the books I've bought using my laptop.
I agree with the sentiments in the topic of this thread. I wish ereaders weren't sold by book sellers and tied to stores. They'd be more expensive then but the variety and feature selection would be far better and there'd be more models. That would make for a better environment, in my opinion.
But it's not a bad situation now. We have good devices. Just not as good as we might have if a bunch of makers were competing and each of those devices could access all the stores or access Calibre easily and access things like Dropbox.
