I don't buy from Kindle because I don't want to support them, but if there's a free book on Amazon I want, I'll download and convert it. Takes 2 seconds.
I already use Calibre on my laptop, so am used to that. As you say, removing DRM may be a steeper learning curve. I too hate Kindle and hate the way they try to manipulate/force us to use their products but I practically have to use Amazon because I don't live in an English speaking country. What really bugs me is that I can buy paper books from the UK on Amazon but not ebooks and also the fact that ebooks are often/normally dearer. None of that makes any sense from an environmental point of view but I suppose it makes good sense to a died-in-the-wool capitalist.
