I sense Amazon is banking on Win7 on a lot of mobile devices.

Maybe I can do all that... or maybe I can buy somewhere else, where I just have to download and copy on my CyBook. I'm not especially interested in buying products that I will have to spend several minutes (not to mention the initial work of installing stuff on my computer and figuring out how to use it) making useable.
If Amazon doesn't want my money, that's fine with me. I used to buy most of my books there, now I rarely even visit the site. Their loss, not mine.
That said, I'm sure that many people will like the Amazon flow, which is maybe less intimidating than manually copying a file on the reader, as I do.
I agree that there won't be one winner, but rather different solutions available for different people with different needs and preferences. The Amazon way is efficient, but it's not for everyone.
