But that's the thing. I rarely have to format shift because nearly every book I want is at a price that is agreeable to me through Amazon. Less muss and fuss for my reading style (which may not be the same as yours).
I really would just like people to stop using the word "locked" because it's not completely true. The Sony Readers have more ease of use when it comes to other formats but Kindle owners are not "locked-out" of purchasing elsewhere (neither are most if not all of the ebook readers on the market). If Amazon had made the Kindle so that it *only* read .azw files then it would be seriously "locked". .azw is the Kindle's preferred file type but not the only type.
