The overwhelming majority of people, in my experience, don't give a damn about being "locked in". They buy a Kindle, and buy books from Amazon. I've lost track of the number of my friends and work colleagues that I've offered to explain Calibre and Alf to - nobody's interested. We, on this forum, are not typical ebook readers.
