I feel the same way about those who cry "boycott" if a book is over $10.

When Amazon has an exclusive eBook, that is a monopoly for that eBook. That eBook may only work with Amazon's software/hardware. The author is limiting the potential number of customers. Also, the author is making a bad name to those that do not buy eBooks from Amazon.

Stripping DRM/converting has nothing to do with this.
