Hey, it's "tough luck" for anyone who owns a Kindle ... that includes me. It's rotten "luck" that Amazon has decided to put a death grip on content for the Kindle.
You would think that they would have learned something from the Apple iPod model. Apple is now offering DRM free music, and I don't see their sales drying up. People are not suddenly deciding not to get an iPod or purchase music from iTunes because there is no more DRM ... it's a great product AND, guess what, the average consumer would much rather pay a reasonable free to have unfettered personal use of the content they purchase than to have to spend extra time and effort to pirate the stuff.
Seriously, why would I want to spend hours finding and downloading and then fiddling with music or any other media if I could buy it for a few dollars? Hell, even if I only made minimum wage, it wouldn't make economic sense, not to mention the fact that it's unethical.
But sure ... treat all your customers as criminals. Take their money and then turn around and then prevent them from actually using your product ... oh, and don't refund their money. Yeah .... that's a great business model.
