I'm mildly loyal to Amazon since I have a Kindle and like it, and the books are tied to it.

That said, I generally only buy books I'm pretty sure I'll never want to re-read, so I can switch down the road.

As I've said many times, I want a tablet device for work that I can read and mark up PDFs etc. on. If something like that comes out and has a form factor (size, battery life etc.) that's also good for leisure reading I could ditch the Kindle line. Or maybe such a device could access the Kindle store ala the iPhone--that would be a big selling point for me as the selection and prices on Amazon are damn good.

Outside of that, I had no loyalty going into e-reader shopping early this year or shopping for any device. I buy whatever had the right price and features at the time.
