I have done; that's how I know that it's true. Being a bit of an ebook "evangelist", when I see someone at work with a Kindle (which happens frequently these days) I'll always go and chat to them about ebooks. I'll tell them about Calibre, and Apprentice Alf, and the ease of removing DRM, and offer to show them how to do it all.
You know what? They just aren't interested. They don't care about collecting books, or using Calibre to store their ebook library, or removing DRM, or being able to convert books to other formats, or any of that crap which we think is so terribly important. They just buy a book from the Kindle Store, read it, and move on. DRM? They just don't give a damn.
This has been my personal experience time and time again.
We are NOT typical users.
