The reality people probably wouldn't bother tinkering with trying to decrypt Kindle books if publishers treated all eReaders equally. It costs them not a penny more to sell a Kindle Book than it does a Sony LRX or other format book. Yet Kindle books that are $9.99 on Amazon are almost twice that price at other ebook stores.
Now you could say Amazon has better pricing power, but we are talking about digital bits here not physical inventory that has to be manufactured using raw materials. There really is no rationale reason why there is such a price disparity. I love my 505, but honestly I just can't bring myself to pay $18 for an LRX book.
