The Kindle is NOT 100% proprietary LOL! You can load all the MOBI files that you can find. Also with Calibre (Google it), you can convert all the EPub and all the files you can think of to MOBI in under 30 seconds and load them on your Kindle. Then the Kindle allows you to buy books as well from Amazon's Kindlestore. But if you don't want to, there are millions of books waiting for you to load on the Kindle at 0.00c
Then if you want other stores' books. Just remove DRM from them and put them on the Kindle. Never been easier.
On a side note. Dude from Germany... Buy your Kindle 3 on ebay and search for sellers from the EU. You will not be charged import duties. Happy reading on it. I'm loving it!
