On the (older) XP version, I could load any Kindle format. On W10 (up to date) Version, it only allows importing PDF

The 'Walled Garden' crowd thinks building higher walls will improve $ale$. Some of us simply believe in a good product, great service at a fair price. I paid a little more for my first reader to get one that was NOT linked to a particular store. I understood the 'Kodak Model': Cheap Camera, profit on the film and processing. I will give them they never ruined my slides

YMMV

I agree with you and there is a place for the cheaper devices however I believe that Amazon should give their Kindle away for free if the deal is that you can only use it with Amazon purchased ebooks.

The reader that you bought for a premium, was it the Kobo? What reader are you using now?
