That's one of the reasons the Kindle's not under consideration if/when I do buy an e-ink reader. PRS-505 + Calibre would probably be it for me. True, there are now many ways to bypass iTunes but there would still be lag from when the device is released and when you can actually use it without iTunes.

That'll probably be the only thing worth looking forward to. Unfortunately, the market for ebook readers is likely much smaller than the market for phones (even smartphones). Right now, it's Amazon Kindle vs everyone. If it turns into an Apple vs Amazon match up with all the other players gone, that's a huge loss.
