It's not whining.
There are restrictive practices and monopolies.
Sometimes you have no choice at all when you want a particular printed book or ebook. Like a proper version of Harry Potter if you are in the USA.
Amazon certainly wants a monopoly of printed and ebooks. They are at 80% of online orders approx of printed books in USA and maybe over 90% of ebooks worldwide.
At least it's possible to change which marketplace your Kindle is one, or get a second older kindle to have two marketplaces at once.
