But this is different then just buying from reader vendor's store. Amazon is the ONLY store to get DRMed eBooks for the Kindle. So you have to buy from Amazon if you want any eBook that has DRM. Sure, I can just buy from Sony. But if I was to say get a Kobo, I could use those same eBooks with the Kobo. Any eBooks with DRM bought from Amazon won't work with any other company's reader.
