No, you could read them on any device that had a Kindle app, and also in so far as you may not be able to read some of your books on certain other devices, the same would be true for your Apple bought books, and your B&N-proprietary DRM books, too. So there is no big issue here. It's not a lock-in, it's some incompatibility that is not unique to Amazon. Would be nice if everything worked everywhere, but certainly not the issue some make it out to be.
Plus, since you are speaking of this supposed "average user" who can't do so much stuff, what are they doing buying multiple readers? Sounds like a hobbyist to me.....
