I have/had devices from all the major stores, but am tied to none of those stores. My books from Amazon happily coexist with books from Kobo, B&N, Smashwords and a dozen other stores just fine. I don't really dislike any store too much although B&N is on my no-buy list (except freebies and credits) do to how difficult they make it to get an actual book file. Not a big Smashwords fan (but I do buy there sometimes) as I've too often gotten books that have been mangled by their meat grinder (now that authors can upload their own ePub this isn't as big of a problem) and I find browsing their store cumbersome I also don't buy self-pub books in general anymore unless they come recommended.
