With proprietary formats, when you buy a novel for digital download from Amazon it will come in their specific file format .AZW which only allows you to read 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 switch ebook readers to a different make, your library of ebooks turn out to be of no use. Make your own mind up if it's fair or not.

That situation has been a big sticking point for the industry in general but also for the manufacturers of other reading devices in particular. They where never going to be able to offer the plethora of titles Amazon.com where capable of doing and so this helped sales of the Kindle . And so they offer aid for additional file formats, mainly the Adobe .PDF, which is a preferred format for free electronic books, but this format does not mimic a scaled down version of text that well as it was always meant to be reproducing text at an A4 size, ideal for the Kindle dx and iLiad readers but not so for the little 5,6 and 7 inch screens.

For this reason came the Epub standard, an open source format intended to exhibit text. It is fast emerging as the format of the future and has gained backing from the likes of Google Library who will be releasing their complete one million titles, of which the majority are at no cost to down load, in this format. Barnes and Noble will also be doing the same to the same degree will the Sony-Store.

So you may see that any electronic book reading device that has support for this standard will be future proof. B&N's Nook Wireless ebook reader has .Epub backing, as does the Sony Daily Edition, and so you can download your electronic books from wherever you choose, paid for or free, moreover not merely from the manufacturer of the electronic books reader , which is the case with the Kindle electronic books reader.
