Additionally I've written up a post for an alternative distribution method for non-DRM books for the kindle.. Don't get me wrong. DRM is a horrible thing, but the model will change in time, just as it has for music
But most people will be purchasing a Kindle to be able to read current eBooks. These are mostly eBooks that would be DRMed. So for most people, Amazon is the only place.
