In fact, not only can you buy books for Kindle form other stores, (like Smashwords or Baen), Amazon lets you either sideload by USB or load up to their cloud service for syncing across devices,, something no other vendor offers. (maybe google books?)

I'm glad the author likes his new Reader. I certainly like my Kobo, but this kind of reporting is just .... bad.
It was also unfortunate that he made that anti-Apple jab about iPhone versus Android. Even though I fully agree with that, those kinds of remarks can alienate people who might have otherwise listened.
