Some of us even don't even have a choice. Amazon mainly sells books in English whereas most e-books in Europe in local languages are sold as epub (with DRM of course). Nevertheless Kindle is popular device due to lower price and high quality e-ink screen. Unfortunately there is no legal way how to put those books on Kindle.
Amazon's approach is not helping global e-book popularity and it may also cost them a lot of lost sales. I predict that in a few years they will call their proprietary format a big mistake.
