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.
That was not my point but since you mention it: I want to have a choice of shops under legal circumstances for buying living literature (not only download 70+ years dead authors). Being locked with Adobe DRM still leaves a selection of booksellers. Being locked with Amazon doesn't, at least not in Germany. The Kobo Aura HD, which would currently be my only replacement candidate should my T3 break, supports Adobe DRM.

But I agree with fjtorres that it's not Amazon's fault that Sony has wrecked a big chance.
