That's the reason people have been suggesting not to buy 2024 Kindles. Of course, for someone who never removes DRM from their purchases, it doesn't make any difference.

Edit: and yes, with a Kobo you can buy ebooks from any store selling epubs without having to remove the DRM. With a Kindle it's Amazon and maybe a couple of other stores selling ebooks in .mobi format.
You cannot by ePub with DRM from Barnes & Nobel or Apple. A Kobo will not handle the DRM.
