That depends on which format they stumble on first. The first books I got from Amazon were freebies, in Topaz format. They looked really terrible on the Kindle for PC reader, and removing DRM and converting them to another format was a lesson in frustration. If I'd actually paid money for the first Topaz books I would probably have proclaimed as well that I'd never use Amazon.
