As one of the people who were directly affected by this, I think you are overfocused on this single event at Amazon. As annoying as it was, they returned my money.
No matter where I buy audiobooks or ebooks, I make sure that I can download and de-DRM and store on my computer. I think it's a smart thing to do. You complain about B&N, but similar problems occur with Kobo now too. Amazon, no problem so far.
As to ereader, I would base it on features you need rather than which walled garden as wherever you buy your books, you can remove DRM and load onto your chosen ereader.
