But it has been argued that "casual consumers" likely won't be buying these devices anyway...

I think you have a point. We did have a couple people in here after the Kindle store first launched who had bought a Sony reader instead and couldn't figure out how to buy books from Amazon. They were pretty peeved when we told them they couldn't. They had seen the Kindle and the links for Sony Readers also on Amazon (though sold by Amazon Sellers) and they just assumed it would all work together. They hadn't really done any research. I don't think most folks do.
