Even if I did buy all my books from Amazon,
my way of doing things would still be exactly the same, apart from replacing Digital Editions with Kindle for PC.

My Kindles are really just an opening for me to buy all their other consumer products. I can access their store on impulse and buy other items. Those, who buy most consumer items elsewhere, are not going to like Kindles as much. This problem is especially difficult for Calibre users who prefer to buy eBooks at store fronts other than Amazon and for iTune customers who buy all their songs from Apple.

You must be the perfect customer. I thought I bought an e-reader, not a storefront. Boy, was I wrong, apparently.
Fortunately, I can live without most of the stuff an e-reader offers as I don't upload more than 1-5 books onto it at any given time.
