To someone who doesn't know otherwise, I suspect it would seem reasonable to expect that if they buy an e-reader, they'll be able to buy books wherever they want. After all, if you buy a music player, you'll be able to play MP3s on it, regardless of where you bought them.

It's true that the poster didn't do research prior to buying a Kindle, but then, they probably didn't realise that any research was required. They probably assumed that digital books would be like digital audio, and that you'd be able to buy where you liked and read/play on the device of your choosing. I don't think that's an unreasonable assumption.
