I'm pretty sure that being limited to a certain volume of non-Amazon content isn't exactly "free."

EDIT: Interesting thought... would cracking the DRM scheme in order to create compatible ebooks that are DRM protected using the same scheme and tied to a particular device fall afoul of the DMCA, or would that be considered OK under the compatibility clauses?

Given we're talking about big business here, it'd probably run afoul of it.
