I note the lack of mention of customer concerns in the trade press.
I note the anecdotal evidence presented to me as an IT professional from a fairly wide circle of friends, colleagues and clients.
The people who are warning people away from Amazon because of "lock in/out" APPEAR to me to be basing it in on imagined worst-case scenarios and anamardoll's mom.

users of Kindle are like users of Windows: they don't even know there're alternatives out there. They take for granted that it's what everybody uses.
They don't know either that one can read the whole Shakespeare without paying even 2 bucks. Kinda like iTards paying 99 bucks on every web-page-turned-app just for the sake of it.
