True, but that's not what Amazon wants. The restrictions of the bookstore is what helps them sell more kindle readers.

Funny thing is, the reason I bought my Sony PRS-505 is because there was open source software (Calibre) allowing me to use Linux, Macs or Windows machines. This software also allows me to convert from and to multiple formats.
