If you're willing to strip DRM there's nothing at all stopping a Kindle owner from buying books elsewhere and reading them on the Kindle. You can use any PID registered with the store for that. Not just the Kindle's. I really doubt there are many Kindle owners that are buying books at other stores. The Kindle store is usually cheaper and generally more convenient.

I don't see the difference between purchasing an eBook from Amazon and reading in on my wife's iPod Touch or liberating it and reading it on my 505. I'm not giving it out. I've paid for it (unless it was free). I'm not causing anyone to lose any income. But Amazon doesn't see it that way. They see me as the bad guy. The bad guys can already remove the DRM and give it away. So why punish the good guys. All that will do is drive us to the darknet to get these ebooks without paying. Way to go DRM.
