I'd say: go with the cheapest source. If it happens to be epub, fine. If it happens to be Amazon...? So be it.

I suppose that's true
but what would be the point of buying from amazon to remove the DRM to read it on a kindle? Just buy from amazon and read. The purpose of removing DRM is to make it portable to any/all other devices is it not? Wouldn't you want your non-DRM file to be readable in *any* device...thus the open format ePub. If you have your original copy of the book in non-DRM ePub format, then you can read it in anything, or convert it to mobi to read on their proprietary device, but you still keep the original open format for archival purposes.
