If you are in the US then there really is no "shopping around" because of the Agency 5 price fixing agreement. The publisher sets the price and the agent, used to be the retailer, cannot sell for less than that price. There are still publishers that don't set the price and those can be discounted by the retailer.
I love my Kindle not just because of the Kindle store but because the only time I've had to connect it to my PC was when I loaded the screensaver hack. I can send all my books and periodical content wirelessly at no additional cost. To me that's more important than ePub. If I want it's trivial to remove DRM and convert.
If I had a hankering to read the Mercola books, which I don't because I don't agree with him, then I would purchase, strip, and convert. Same with foreign language books. I will not be stopped by DRM from reading what I want. Heck, on my Pocketbook IQ I *can* read any format, with or without DRM. The only downside is that it's an LCD screen.
