Quite likely. Of course, the vast majority of eBook readers don't side load and don't know how to remove DRM, so they stay with the eBook store that matches their reader, be it Kindle, Nook, Kobo or Apple Books. Of course, a lot of people read on the tablets or phones now.
When I had a nook (I eventually gave it to my sister), the selection was much worse than the Kindle store. I use to go the B&N. I would see a book that I wanted (usually SF&F or history), I would look to see if it was in the nook store. Most of the time it wasn't. Then I would look in the Kindle store. 90% of the time, I found it there. B&N missed out on a lot of sales to me that way.
