I believe that notimp's position is that Amazon are working to completely control the retail ebook format, so that when Kindles become the only ebook device available, Amazon'll be the only ones able to supply content for the devices, and all publishers and authors will need to go through Amazon to sell ebooks to the public.
As a consequence, notimp believes that all MobileRead members should stop buying devices and content from Amazon immediately, and that all MobileRead members should encourage everyone else to boycott Amazon for ebooks as well.
It's possible I have mis-stated his position. This is just my interpretation, based on what he's posted. I'd be happy for notimp to post a (concise!) correction if I have misunderstood.
