Take an ePub with Adept DRM and any Reader that natively supports ePub has the ability to display it on screen. That means Readers from multiple vendors. There's also the ability to shop at multiple vendors for your ePub.
That's great, but it is still a closed system. I refer you to explanatory post #26.

Quote:
Amazon is closed in that they are the only ones who sell Readers that can display Kindle eBooks that have DRM. There there is only one shop where you can buy DRMed Kindle eBooks.

So yes, Amazon is a closed and walled garden when it comes to eBooks with DRM.
I entirely agree with you that Amazon is a closed system (== walled garden)... but where did I say otherwise?
Where did I mention Amazon anywhere in that post, in fact??

Please take a course in reading comprehension, and then return and internalize the following repeated statement of mine:
The MOBI/AZW3 format is just as much an open format as EPUB is.
