Well, the behavior of Amazon is the reason I bought my new e-reader from B&N -- it is not proprietary. I have loaded books I bought from Baen on it, and they look wonderful. Amazon readers lock you into Amazon purchases. the new B&N nook tablet does the movie/music/game/book thing of The Expensive Brand for a couple of hundred dollars AND takes uploads of lots of document and book formats. So you can carry it into the mortar store, see a book, then buy it on the store wifi. I much prefer that -- it will keep my B&N open and enable me to keep buying Baen, as I have since 1991.
