    Kindle will of course lock you into Amazon's walled garden. You can't use it to read standard MOBI e-books, only Kindle's proprietary format.

    Just to clarify (not for the OP as I suspect it's too much info but for others).

    MOBI *is* Amazon's proprietary format. EPUB is the standard and that's what the MOBI is made out of.

    You can read PDFs on a Kindle.

    True, but they won't reflow and allow you to modify the display as you could with an e-Pub or MOBI file.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
