I misread your post before, so I deleted my previous response.

He has his facts wrong. Only a minority of the ebooks in the Kindle store are in the Kindle only format (TPZ or Topaz). Most are actually in Mobipocket format, not Kindle. True, most of the ebooks have DRM that locks them to a certain Kindle, but it is trivially easy to remove.
