Sorry for jumping in late on this. With respect, I would disagree that Adobe's DRM "is no less restricted" than Amazon's format. With Kindle books, you have to read them on Kindle readers or use Kindle software on your computer, phone or tablet. In contrast, the vast majority of other dedicated ereaders support Adobe's DRM, and Alkido (and perhaps some other software solutions) will support books using ADE regardless of where they are bought.

Both DRM's are restrictive, and in practice, most Kindle users will never notice their restrictions, but there are some real extra restrictions with the Kindle.
