Just wondering why one is out and the other is not? Both seem equally locked in to their brand of ereader.
I don't run windows, so can't install the Kobo application. Yet the Parent company supports Linux for other applications. I don't think ADE works natively either. I last used it on XP, ages ago.
I don't need to install any Amazon application to buy an ebook from Amazon (selecting my Kindle as target for PC download). Then I can read the ebook on my Sony PRS350 or Kobo Libra via Calibre.
I have backups of all my ebooks from all sources.
It's a shame that Kobo is trying to copy the company with 90% of the market, but doing it in a way that's worse, accidentally really in the case of Amazon.
