Stop being so practical. There are hundreds of threads here about this. But basically DRM is evil and about Vendor lock in. One the one hand, Bezos talks about how bad iTunes DRM lock in is, so Amazon opened a DRM free MP3 store to give customers choice. On the other hand he does the same think to lock in the Kindle store to Kindle owners that he says is so bad when Apple does it with iTunes.

It's really about what they "think" will make the most money.
