I'm glad that Kindle users are happy with their Kindles, I really am, but I don't understand why they object so strenuously to the idea that they're "locked in." You're a lot more locked in than I am with my device that reads epubs.
I can get books anywhere EXCEPT Amazon (without tinkering).
You can't get books from the other mainstream booksellers (without tinkering).
Again, if you're happy with Amazon, fine. But the other "choices" you have to get books outside of Amazon are hardly compelling.
