It's insane that we have to choose between devices that generally only work with books sold by a particular store. Even the advantage of a tablet with access to multiple stores has the drawback of an LCD screen (a deal breaker for some people) and multiple applications being needed by the various stores.
Having never bought a song from Apple I didn't know.... So, I just downloaded a song (free one of course ) and the extension is "m4a" What the fig is that? No wonder I don't buy music from them.....
