If that's enough for you, you can pay more in total.
In any case, I can get the books from anywhere and read them in whatever setting I want.
And that is not directly possible with any "brand" device without "messing around".
I can get eBooks from Amazon in KF8 or Mobi and read them on my Kobo. How is that a problem? I don't buy eBooks I cannot remove the DRM so I will never need apps that support eBooks I cannot remove the DRM.
