Sorry, I didn't mean to appear hostile. I just wanted to point out in humorous fashion the logic you follow. You present a very nice, and new for me, argument against DRM: that it plays into the hands of big booksellers and puts smaller ones at a disadvantage.

I don't blame Amazon for the deaths of smaller competitors. I neither like nor hate Amazon. Capitalism is the name of the game and Amazon is very good at playing it at the moment, which is absolutely no guarantee there won't be a new, better player eventually.

So it is of course on option to gamble on Amazon surviving you, but it isn't a gamble I'm willing to take. That's why I remove DRM and will bequeath loads of usable ebooks to my non-existent children.
