That's why you go with a reader that supports ePub. Amazon is bound to go ePub eventually because the real money is in selling the books, not the readers and Amazon can sell to everyone if they use a widely available format.

With ePub you have almost every ebook store to choose from so whichever store has the best prices is the one that will be getting your business. Furthermore, a standard ePub format means that all the book sellers are competing with each other rather than simply existing in their own little closed off ecosystems which drives prices down through competition.

I'm putting my own money down on an eReader this holiday season and it's on a Nook because it's my best choice for future reading.
