Amazon shouldn't be worried about people buying books from other people. I have never found a book I was "looking for" cheaper that what Amazon was selling it for.

I have on occasion found "used books," that Amazon didn't have, elsewhere.

As for applications from other sources, well think about how many people are really going to bother to convert their readers and perhaps the apps to get them. A tiny percentage. Maybe a few of those people that hang around blogs and backwater dives and little hide-a-ways down alleys.

Then if those people aren't successful, Amazon's repair will not be under warranty. That is scary for a lot of people.
