Through proprietary formats, when you pay for a book for digital download from Amazon it will come in their own file format .AZW which only allows you to open it on amazon's wireless reading device. So if in the future, obviously after you have have checked out all the digital book readers for the latest model at the best price, you then decided you wanted to swap digital book readers to another make, your library of ebooks become of no use. Make your own mind up if that is evenhanded or not.
That scenario has been a large obstacle for the industry in general but also for the makers of other reading devices in particular. They where never going to be able to offer the amount of novels Amazon where competent of doing and so this aided sales of the Kindle . And so they offer support for additional file formats, mainly the Adobe .PDF, which is a choice format for free ebooks, but this standard does not reproduce a scaled down version of text that well as it was always supposed to be reproducing text at an A4 size, ideal for the Kindledx and iLiad ereaders but not so for the smaller 5,6 and 7 inch displays.
And so came the Epub standard, an open source format designed to exhibit text. It is fast emerging as the standard of the future and has recieved support from the likes of Google Library who shall be releasing their whole one million titles, of which the majority are free to down load, in this format. B&N will also be going the same way as will the Sony-Store.
Accordingly you can see that any electronic book reading device that has support for this format will be future proof. B&N's Nook Revolutionary wireless reading device has .Epub support, as does the Sony Daily Edition, and so you can down load your e books from wherever you choose, paid for or free, and not merely from the manufacturer of the kindle digital reader , which is the case with the Amazon kindle electronic book reader.
