I can use my device as I want to use it without spending a cent at Amazon. That's not walled in. I don't need to go through Amazon for video (can use Vudu, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) or books (can use Baen, Kobo, B&N, basically everyone but Apple) or magazines (use Zinio). The only place you can say might be a problem is apps, but I've yet to encounter anything I wanted from the Google Play store that I couldn't also get from Amazon or one of the other app stores.
