This is probably the biggest plus for the Pocketbook vs the Kobo, my understanding is that PocketBook doesn't have any book vendor lock in, while the Kobo is locked in to its own store. Is that right? I'm becoming more and more of a data privacy hardliner, so openness/ability to buy books from anywhere and read them without having data sent back to the vendor is a big deal to me.
I've not used it because I always remove the protection before copying to device, but I authorized my Kobo with ADE and AFAIK I can buy books from any ADE vendor and open them on the device w/o WiFi.
