Yes, but their books don't work on e-readers created by other manufacturers.

You're correct that Amazon has an app available for about any platform. They don't care on what device you read, as long as you not only read an Amazon book, but also read it on an Amazon device, or in an Amazon app.

And that is something I don't want to do. Nowadays, with hyperconnectivity for any device, even the ones that don't need it, I am very mistrusting of huge corporations, be they Microsoft, Apple, Google, or Amazon.
