I hope you're not referring to my 'whining' posts. Maybe you are.
I do complain rather a lot about the non functional TXT and DOC formats on Story. But hey, these are ebook formats too!
Besides, iRiver has claimed that these 2 formats are supported. Two ebook formats down out of four would still be acceptable to you, even for a pure 'ebook reader'?
Remember, there might be people who buy a Story only because these formats are supported. Wouldn't they feel cheated?
Anyway, peace.
