I actually share the same feeling about iTunes. But still is not so powerful and bad to make me take the move ... NO YET! at least ...
Yeah - iTunes was the deal breaker for me.

One reason I have remained loyal to the Kindle was that you never HAD to tether it to a PC in order to load books and read.
And if you did hook it up - its file system was accessible - no fancy tricks needed to sideload books - either via calibre or using the OS file manager.

Android tablets give me that level of independence & control.
And I eagerly await the arrival of the rumored Amazon tablet - I'm sure it will be fully integrated into the existing infrastructure - for books, music, video. The only question will be if it will be WiFi only, or if also 3G - will Amazon subsidize a carrier as with the Kindle - if the tablet is "locked" into the Amazon website.
