Sorry but I have to disagree here.

I have an ebook reader, 2 of them in fact, and don't use a store at all.
Granted its nice to have the "option" to buy something online.
But I really don't need that option built into my reader. I have a PC that will do that job very nicely.

Project Gutenberg, Googlebooks public domain books, the options are many and varied.

Much more important for me to have a device that reads a wide variety of file types. That I can easily load books from my PC to via SD card.

I wouldn't even consider buying a device where the company also promotes its own "store" and uses proprietary formats. Your almost saying "here, I have more money than I need, take some"

If Ford made a car that would only run on gasoline sold by Ford Dealerships, would you buy one? I wouldn't. Even if it had features that I liked, wanted.
