I don't see how one excludes the other. Like it's been said here, you don't buy a cellphone plan because you consider the company totally reliable; in most cases, we do this on a daily basis simply because the majority of us do not read the terms of service. Heck, if you install a simple app that's the same logic, and I don't think I've ever read most of the ToS for my apps.
Also, you can still buy an ereader without having checked the company's background simply because
a)other people inspired/urged you to do it
b)you want to read ebooks.
We don't always behave rationally, but we can come up with reasons after the fact. Doesn't change the fact that trust in the company may not be the main reason you decide to get a product.
