Amazon offers selection and pricing sufficiently good that this is not seen as an imposition by Kindle users.

There are more than enough companies selling ebooks in a Kindle format that even the most technically challenged shouldn't be bound to Amazon as their only source. Of course the technically challenged may very well think that they
have to buy only from Amazon.
And for the newer "blockbuster" or "Big Name Author" DRM books, Amazon is more than adequate. But with my reader I can just wait for those to become available in the library, just as I did (most of the time) when I read on paper.
If you want the hottest book, there will be a higher price to pay. I don't blame Amazon for that.
