While the exclusivity thing annoys me as well, it won't stop me from buying a book from Amazon if I really want to read it. I do have a couple of older Kindles registered to my account, true; but I've also used the old Kindle for Android method several times. No Kindle device is needed for that.

And, while I won't ever buy a book with an unremovable DRM, many people (possibly even the majority) don't care about DRM at all; they buy a book, read it once and that's it for them. I don't know if Hildea is one of the "I'm willing to die on the DRM removal hill" crowd ; hence my suggestion about the Kindle app.

I don't really care about most people, and I don't mean to project what others should do, I'm just stating my personal preferences.
