I don't break DRM to read my content on my current reader. I buy my books from Amazon because they are fairly priced and available. I have not needed to leave Amazons store. They have what I want at a reasonable price.

Perhaps the Kindle folks are a bit tired of people saying that we are locked into a specific store and other such silliness.

If you think being able to buy DRMed books from three or four stores and reading them on one device is freedom, good for you. I happen to think I am doing just fine buying books from one book store with the option of buying from others if I want.

I don't think the Kindle lovers try and force their opinions on DRM down peoples throats. I find being lectured on the evils of Amazons DRM tiresome.
