I have a kindle yet buy all my books from other places, I buy nothing from Amazon, yet I email all my books to Amazon, they store them for me on their servers and send them to my Kindle, exactly the same way they would treat books I would have bought from them. Plus my ereader costs less than the new Sony, and is front lit.
That's the infrastructure and service which makes Amazon the most successful ereader manufacturer and retailer.

I always strongly opposed the Amazon way of doing things, but you make some valid points.
I would have bought a Kindle a long time ago if it had additionally supported ePUB alongside their own proprietary format.
