Did you see any HP printer compatible with Lexmark or Epson cartridges?
I think I was misunderstood...

I was merely referring to the monopolistic Kindle Only format deals they make with publishers. Do the publishers not realize that exclusive ebooks in only ONE format will greatly reduce the number of ebooks sold/read?

This is what I do not understand. The books i want are only on the Kindle currently, and I have to wait months for them to come out in a format that my reader will use.

I see nothing at all wrong with, say, Amazon making a deal to be the only eTailer of the book, but at least have the decency to sell the books in multiple formats to greater increase your , NOT just in the sacred Kindle format alone

This is my gripe.
