I am an Amazon customer. I own a Kindle. About 80% of my stuff is not of Amazon origin. With the exception of free books, I try to avoid DRM books. There is very little restriction on what I can or cannot put on my Kindle. Mobi, prc, txt, PDF directly and any other format that Calibre can handle as long as it is not crippled by DRM. There are thousands of books that are not encumbered by this idiocy, many of which are on Amazon itself. Baen, Right Brane, Gutenberg, feedbooks, manybooks, O'Reilly, Lulu, smashwords to mention just a few.
