The issue--as the the thread title suggests, and your comment acknowledges--is to get Amazon to allow non-Kindle users to buy books too.

Yep! That's the issue exactly! I anticipate it'll happen eventually, as Amazon seems to be taking the iTunes route to success. I can see them eventually opening up either their format or selling other formats to users with other devices. Amazon is, after all, primarily a bookseller, not a hardware manufacturer. I have to believe - though I could be wrong - that they make most of their
long-term profit from the books, not the devices, so it's in their best interest to sell to as many people as possible.
I also have high hopes that, like iTunes, Amazon will eventually do away with drm...
