I think you misunderstand something about the Kindle. You can get books from Gutenberg, Baen, Smashwords, etc, and library book borrowing is coming soon.

All ebooks available are available from either Amazon or one of the ePubs. All the ePub sellers have the same books, not separate sets of books, and you can get the same books from Amazon.

They don't limit you any more than Sony, or Barnes & Noble, etc.

Amazon customer service is excellent, and they allow you to return books, which no other ebook seller does.

Now, if you really want Android, that's fine, just wanted to make sure you understand the real situation with ebooks.
