Quite true. And if I hadn't *JUST* lucked into a buy-broken-on-eBay-and-get-WARRANTEED-replacement-for-free of a Kindle 2, I'd be looking to buy a Nook. But I done did got my $38 Kindle 2 (replacement arrived today!) and I'm quite happy with it. Plus I can upload all my mobi/prc ebooks without major hassle (of which I have over 7,000) so my need for an ePub solution is "not that dire".

What really makes me happy is that I'm currently reading a very NIFTY book on Adobe Photoshop Layers on my Kindle - one which I've not found in ePub or regular Mobi format. Yay!

So, yes, all of this, the selection, the ease of purchase, the really, really GREAT warranty service shows why Amazon will probably continue to dominate the ebook market.
