Of course. I do think at times that I should buy more from Apple and Kobo just to encourage them, but so far neither has given me a compelling reason to do so and there are certain advantages to using Amazon.

I was thinking about pre-ordering Mythos by Stephen Fry from the Kobo store, but ended up doing it from the Amazon store instead. I will likely buy the audiobook for that one as well and sometimes one can get a nice discount if you already have the ebook. Plus, I don't have the Adobe DRM set up on my Mac and I understand that I will need to get an older version to remove the DRM. I already have that process set up for the kindle store.

Amazon has done an excellent job of creating synergy between their various offerings to keep you in their walled garden.
