Unless you are talking about people who already own Kindle hardware as well as an iPad I just don't get what you are saying. There is no lock-in. I could buy book 1 from Amazon, book 2 from B&N, book 3 from Borders and book 4 from Apple. I could read them all on one device. It is as far from lock-in to one bookseller as you can get. No advantage, and no disadvantage, people can choose whichever place has the best selection/price/app features, and reevaluate that choice each time they shop.
