To many, Amazons "walled Garden" approach suits them fine. This is particularly true if they are not computer or internet savvy. It is a simple process to learn the procedure of getting an ebook of choice to the Kindle and like you say, you do not even need a PC for that task.
For other ereaders on the market, not being locked into a store (right or wrong) adds some complications to the transfer process.
That would certainly make the Kindle more attractive regardless of DRM.
