Obviously you are locked into Amazon's system with the Kindle. You cannot simply decide to use some other reader tomorrow without losing the books you have acquired up to now or by having to break the DRM and to convert all those books to epub. Unlike what is being claimed here not all DRM is so easily broken nor are all books easily converted into other formats.

I have actually experienced that mobi files are often more easily and better converted into BBeBs than into epubs.
