Unless people want to use a different store other than Amazon and sideload DRMd books onto the Kindle. That is one limitation where Amazon is bullying by not letting anybody else apply the DRM to books. That is hardly Amazon's fault either, but the publisher that won't let stores sell without DRM.

Hey, you're preaching to the converted.

Also by the same extension you are locked into Kobo or Barnes & Noble depending on which device you buy. Unless of course you know how to sideload books -- in which case please do not pretend it is any harder to do so on a Kindle.
Many exotic devices frequently recommended because "they aren't made by Amazon, the bullies" are of course completely useless as they have no store at all -- unless you know how to sideload in which case see above.

The irony of complaining about Amazon's store lockin, ignoring sideloading, and instead opt for a device where you can
only sideload, is icing on the cake.
