One can say that one can always get round implicit restrictions on the KF, but the fact is that most users are not that savvy and will accept whatever is served up to them. In a world of competition that wouldn't matter too much. Competing and less restrictive devices would emerge that customers will turn to. The problem is Amazon's market dominance. It seems they are fast becoming a monopoly and therefore will control the vast majority of digital content consumption. And they are corporation out to make money. They will control the future of books. This is worrying.
