So buying your books from Amazon and stripping the DRM, which allows me to convert them to ePub (which is a more open format) is me putting all my eggs in one basket. But you buying your books and not stripping DRM is not? That is some confusing logic.

Not at all. I own Nooks and Kobos and buy from Amazon who don't support either.

However, having a Kindle and Amazon preventing DRM removal, would not stop my purchasing and reading from them ... unless I wanted it to.

The same is true of any ebookstore I guess. I could buy from Nook or Kobo if I wanted to. I just don't want to.

I do admit though, that some parameters have changed since then, like the cost of ebooks not being reduced as much as they should be in a lot of instances ...
