Had an amazon Kindle but it was practically useless for me due to how locked down it was. If I wanted to add something esoteric I had to mail it to amazon for whatever reason. I don't mind paying for book, but I would hate to have amazon decide what books I read. Is the kobo better in this regard?

- You can create an account to set up the device then never network-connect again - Shows as an external drive when connected via a micro-USB cable - Copy and paste books, then when you unplug from your laptop your Kobo sees them - With Calibre you can tag your books; tags become collections on-device - Understands more formats, but Calibre can also convert to EPUB during copying - You can also read the Adobe-DRM protected books (or ask Apprentice Alf)
