True. I run both, but that can be a hassle to a lot people. I've also run into books that would not convert/strip due to size. So it can be a problem for some people.

As much as I would like to support Kobo (I liked the first one a lot), Amazon is the better choice for a lot of people for selection and ease of use. I wish Kobo was in stores in the US, so I could at least have people go look at it.

I liked the Nook a lot, but this was such a deal breaker. Amazon doesn't care where I buy my books. Its easy to add amazon and non-amazon books to devices and have them synch between them. They just make sure I buy most of the books from them.
