If you are talking about contemporary books with DRM for the average joe... then yes... it is true. Granted, there are many sources of DRM free books that you can also get for the kindle. Many places you can get them make it easy to put them on your Kindle without using a PC... for example, Feedbooks.

then there are some the make it pretty easy. For example, webscriptions will send your purchase to your Kindle via whispernet using the email feature.

My point was... if this person is happy with getting their books from Amazon and they don't know much about computers it is probably going to be "too much" for them to try any other method. Then if you want to get into DRM removal their head will probably explode.
