Of those "locked in" to an integrated store with their devices, there's only two kinds of people: those who don't care that they're locked in ... and those who've figured out they're not really locked in. Both are usually happier than pigs in mud about their situation.

I was merely pointing out that Amazon Kindle is not somehow uniquely disadvantaged when it comes to being locked in.
If they know what they're doing, then they aren't locked in at all. If they don't know what they're doing, they're just as effectively locked into Barnes & Noble as they are locked into Amazon. And true enough, they don't care either. |

To be fair to B&N the DRM they use has been in the ADE mobile software for quite a long time (Jetbooks can read B&N DRM just fine - Since 2010), it's other manufacturers that aren't enabling the option.
