I have run into folks who either could not purchase from Amazon (Kindle owners outside of the country) or for personal reasons (DRM issues for one) don't want to buy from Amazon but think they have no choice. The subject was not whether Amazon was the best source or not (for me... it is), it was about options outside of Amazon.
For eBooks like best sellers, most people with a Kindle are locked into Amazon. Just like most people with a Sony Reader are locked into Sony.
