Only if a person owns a single Kindle device would it make sense to deregister the unit and buy eBooks elsewhere.

I have a Kindle, and at this time it's not registered. I've bought exactly 2 ebooks from Amazon, because I had no other choice. I have a Kindle because Kobo has way too many bugs in their firmware and waste too much space on screen.

Thus, it makes no sense to buy eBooks from anyone but Amazon but everyone has their own preferences.

You should really cut back a bit on these kinds of statements. I can give you some fairly recent examples why I didn't buy books at Amazon. Heck; why don't I?
Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa.
Amazon: Not available for Dutch Account.
Kobo: $7.99 with 50% coupon
(Difference: unobtainable vs. cheap)

Complete Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (5 books omnibus)
Amazon: $40, for Dutch Accounts.
Kobo: $15 on offer @ Kobo, reduced to $7.50 by 50% coupon (It's only $32.50 difference... but hey... why bother?)
Whole bunch of Forgotten Realms novels.
Amazon: $9.81 per book
Feedbooks: $5.49 per book
Diesel: $4.81 per book
Kobo: $3.25 per book after 50% coupon.
(50% difference, even without any coupons, roughly 67% difference with coupons. You don't bother with 67% discounts?)
DelphiClassics works:
Amazon: $3 per work, not all of them available for Dutch accounts.
DelphiClassics: $3 per work, everything available, 25% coupon, saving me $10 recently.
You keep buying at Amazon. I buy everywhere but Amazon, and keep saving money over and over, sometimes even insane amounts using coupons, and often I'm getting access to books Amazon doesn't even want to sell me, just because I'm not in the US. Most of the time, I don't even have to break geo-restrictions, but if I have to, it's MUCH easier at other retailers than at Amazon.
