Why is there not a similar warning to prospective Kindle owners that there devices can not be jail broken and that many of the add-ons are not applicable.
There are such warnings on this forum at least by me. I always say that Kindle makes sense only if you want to keep buying mobis. If you want to read epubs and pdf files from any source, then the first option should be anything but a Kindle.

Kobo does not natively seem to do anything useful with pdf files either(useful such as crop, zoom, reflow), and latest firmwares favour its own kepub format over epub, so if you buy a Kobo, the first thing is to install at least Koreader on it.

Only Onyx and Pocketbook provide reasonable functionality out of the box and when you want more, installation process on them is effortless compared to Kindle and Kobo.
