Hardly seems like platform lock-in, since you don't have to own a Kindle to read books from the Kindle store.

You are still locked into using the Kindle "platform". Even if Amazon is making it accessible to a wide variety of devices, you can only read the books on a device Amazon has approved. For instance, I can't read a Kindle book I've purchased on my Cybook. This is only because of the artificial restrictions imposed by DRM.
