So, I don't mind which but, as Mike Crane points out, the overall Amazon Kindle experience is seamless (he calls it "zero friction"). I can't imagine Amazon wanting to start confronting users on every purchase if they want .epub or .awz file for their current purchase. I'd bet most Kindle users don't even know the books are DRMed because they've never been outside the garden with the file.

Yup, definitely ranty, but mostly correct and clear, I thought. It was refreshing to see someone talk about this.
