The German Osiander chain bookstores, regularly touted as one of the challengers Amazon in Germany, has just carried out a coup at the expense of its competitor. In cahoots with his colleagues in the Mayersche chain booksellers organized “Operation We offer you your freedom.” The principle exchange Kindle owner unit against a Pocketbook, based on an open system

Both bookstore chains organized their operation after the holidays, history also affect those who have received a Kindle for Christmas. The operation aims to inform readers of ebooks, or those who could become disadvantages of a proprietary system like the Kindle.
In fact, the machine works from Amazon using MOBI files that can not be played on this unit. And only purchased from Amazon. That is, a change machine forces the user to completely abandon its digital library, and then perform a full conversion, using third party software.
Some explanations that have occupied sellers libraries, mainly in the southwest of Germany for Osiander, and everywhere else for Mayersche. Reversals concerned all Kindle, and each was entitled to an exchange Pocketbook Touch Lux 2. In other words, the deal was particularly interesting for some, and not just for the open system.
According to lesen.net , which reports information exchanges have already reached twice the original estimate, while the operation continues until January 10, within the limits of available stocks. For now, the two chains provide not having decided the future of the recovered Kindle, although a donation seems likely.
