		<description><![CDATA[This is bad timing given that CES is going on, but I wanted to post this question while it was on my mind...

Kevin and Matt, I recently listened to this podcast and your discussion of Google Books, Kindle and Nook. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on the lack of ePub support on the Kindle. I recently purchased an ereader to give as a Christmas gift. Although the current Kindle is an attractive device and I find the navigation on the Nook a bit bothersome, I bought the Nook based on its support for ePub (with and without DRM). I cannot imagine buying a single-purpose device like an e-ink ereader only to be locked into a proprietary format. And while it is nice that Amazon has a Kindle app on a variety of devices (none of which use e-ink), that doesn&#039;t help much when one (in the future, perhaps,) wants to move to a different e-ink reader like the Sony Reader, Nook, the reader from Kobo, etc. That seems like an intentional business decision on Amazon&#039;s part to force Kindle users to purchase books from them rather than other ebook retailers. I may be mistaken, but Amazon is alone in that practice among e-ink device makers/sellers. Your thoughts?]]></description>
