OK, the simple answer is "no" - but as a fan of amazon, I understand your wife's point of view. Oddly enough, I have a Sony PRS-600 and just LOVE it.
For e-books, you have a fairly wide range of bookstores with the epub format. Check the wiki page here on the forum for the lists of e-book stores, free sources for e-books and e-book lending libraries. You aren't actually limited to a single source for your books - especially with a format like epub.
I actually bought my Sony through Amazon (obviously, one of their vendors), and I suspect that after all the Agency pricing stuff shakes out, Amazon may also be selling books in a variety of formats, too. But take a look at what some of the other online booksellers offer - I use primarily the Sony store (US) and Kobo, though I admit to checking the Amazon listings for books I'm interested in purchasing - mostly for the reviews.
Cheers,
Bev
