If you want to make things more complicated than that, well that's up to you.

If people roll over and take the sub-par status quo, then yeah, things will have no reason to improve. Having standards makes it pretty darn hard for some people to pry the $$$ out of my hands.
As for the Nook, I couldn't even "buy" a freebie from the nook book store. They wanted me to enter my credit card number, then AFTER I entered my info they told me I was unable to buy a book because of living in Canada. WHY then, did they pretend to sell to Canadians by having zip/POSTAL code in the drop down menu. Who made things complicated again? Oh yah, I did
