I think not being able to adjust the book just the way I like is the biggest turn off for me. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if they were formatting these books properly but they aren't! and the consumer aka ME has no recourse or way to fix the problem.

I'm not sure if the Kindle ebooks are better formatted or not but I started buying from mobipocket because there's a crack for that and I can convert mobi to LRF. However, if I have to do all that work I might as well go to the darknet.

Hmm still kind of sensetive about about because I bought a book from sony connect store, couldn't read it on my reader and then had to go to IRC to find a html version. I was not amused.
