O'Reilly is one of the top tech publishers in, so far as I know, the world.
Baen has top-tier authors in SF and Fantasy, two of the most popular genres.
They are neither self-published nor obscure. What that ARE is genre-specific.
If you keep falsely dismissing all the options as obscure or self-published, when they are not, then I will continue to correct you.
If you just told the truth, that you are really referring to only the 3 other general DRM bookstores, then you will get no argument.
There are 3 more ADE/epub general book stores than there Kindle DRM book stores. There is no argument on that. IF those are the kind of books someone wants, AND they think they may want to switch readers, AND that new reader will not be a multi-purpose device that can run all the apps, AND they don't want to strip DRM, then there are perfectly valid concerns to be addressed, BOTH on the epub reader side AND the Kindle side.
To repeatedly warn the Kindle as dangerously exclusive, and to totally dismiss or mis-state the exact same issues on the other side is simply bad. Bad.
Bad, bad, bad,

ps. Bad.
