I can understand that. And I expect this is why bookeen and iRex have moved to using Adobe DRM and most of the stores have moved to it.

So, if you do want the most choice of where to buy your ebooks selecting a device that supports Adobe DRM seems the best choice. then again, as a Kindle user I have never seen a reason to buy and ebook from Fictionwise or BooksOnBoard rather than from the kindle store. So it hasn't really restricted me. (Oh, and I can deDRM (99% of ) the Kindle books.)

I just wish it wasn't a choice we had to make. "I have a dream..."

Anyway.... we got quite a bit this thread is really about the Kindle for Mac beta release.
