You know the strange thing about all this is that I think that Amazon has a distinct advantage of having a huge selection of DRmed ebooks that can have the DRM stripped. The reason they opened up their ebook library to the iPhone is to get more sales. Now that their DRM can get stripped in so easy a fashion as long as the person has one of two devices, they really have an opportunity to be the defacto ebook standard because their ebooks are cheaper and can be read on any reader now. I think they are a little short sighted and will realize in the near future, that this will really make a difference much like .lit is still standing after microsoft has all but stopped supporting it.
sorry for al lthe runon sentences
