I don't either, to be honest. I'd still like to have the possibility of accessing online ebook stores from my reader, ideally through a neutral interface.

Being naturally lazy, I will occasionally turn on the WiFi on my Kobo and buy a book from where I stand (I did this from Norway where I was on holiday last summer - finished a book, bought the next in the series right there). But then, well-made open source software could do this, without the risk of giving Kobo (or any other reseller) get a peek at my library and whatever I've been reading at which speed.
