Kindle owners can buy books from anywhere that offers books in formats accepted by the Kindle. In addition, they can download a large selection of public domain books in mobi/prc format from our MobileRead library, Project Gutenberg, and many other places. There are some Kindle owners who
never buy books from Amazon because they (just like books in the Sony Store, Kobo eBooks, and Barnes & Nobles) contain DRM. They prefer to only buy from those sites that sell books without it. This limits their choices, because DRM is insisted upon by most publishers, but it does show that Amazon is far from being the only place you can get books for the Kindle.
