I'd say that if you want to protest by boycotting exclusives at Amazon, it's even more important to also boycott any DRMed ebooks too.
There are plenty of DRM-free ebooks out there. Classics, Romances, Sci-Fi, and no doubt other genre novels, including the modern literary genre.
Arguing that sometimes there's no choice but to buy the DRMed product doesn't work, if you're also arguing that one should not buy a particular exclusive offering.
Either one's desire for a particular book overrides one's objections to the format/availability, or it doesn't.
