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.

I respect that and if it felt I was forcing down opinions, I apologize. I responded purely because I am tired of some Kindle users making excuses for Amazon. Also, I care about fence-sitters who read through these forums. Once upon a time, I was one.
What Amazon is doing by going proprietary is not good for customers. No amount of DRM breaking or format conversion can change that.
