But, take the Kindle with the average non-techy type person. They are going to buy eBooks from Amazon. They won't know about removing DRM and converting. yes in the US they can also borrow from Overdrive but outside the US, they cannot borrow from Overdrive.
So really, most Kindle users are rather locked into Amazon's walled garden.
