You're right that DRM issues are not Kindle-specific. But the Kindle compounds the problem with its poor support of open formats. I agree that the Kindle user experience is second if you don't mind DRMed content locked up in a proprietary, Kindle-only format (once a Kindle user, always a Kindle user). But if you want to read open content, almost your only option is unformatted plaintext which, in terms of a pleasant reading experiences, is just about one step up from useless.
I don't mind my ereader supporting DRM. I'm just not interested in a reader that
ONLY supports DRM.
