I agree with this. I have IPod's and now an IPad. What I buy from Apple, I buy because it works well and easily and quickly. I spent the better part of 6 months trying to find an alternative to the IPad because I am not a huge fan of some of Apple's policies. Failing to find something roughly equivalent and the right price point I sucked it up and bought the IPad. 1 hour later, I had downloaded a bunch of apps and was happily enjoying myself.
I am the same way with Amazon. I buy from Amazon because they have made it easy to do so and they are pretty affordable. I like the ease of using my Kindle and buying books.
Apple and Amazon are companies. They are doing what they can to increase their profit margins and expand their business. That is what busnisses do. They are not good and they are not evil, they are organizations trying to maximize profits. (shrugs)
