However you want to look at it, I'm just trying to say that the Tolino device doesn't seem any more 'walled garden' than any of the other readers I mentioned.
You're right it's not any more walled than anything else.



You don't have to strip DRM to use any of the various readers with content from other sources and not use the attached stores at all. It just depends on what/where the content is from and what it is. Kindle is the most walled, in the sense that DRM'd content (sans disinfecting) is only available one place. Kobo, B&N, Tolino can use DRM from any source that offers content with Adobe Adept DRM (Google, Kobo, eBooks.com, BAM, some big pubs, etc.).
