Several friends of mine with non-Kindle ereaders such as Kobo, Tolino and Pocketbook would disagree with you. They use their iPad, iPhone, Chromebook, Android tablet, etc. to obtain their books and then copy them to cloud storage (DropBox, Google Drive, Tolino Cloud, Pocketbook cloud, etc.) and then download them to their ereaders. If they want to read a DRMmed ebook, they have a variety of apps on their devices to allow reading those as well.
One nice thing is that unlike Amazon, most other ebook stores only apply DRM when it is requested. And no, I do not consider Amazon's claim that using a generic KFX key is equivalent to supplying a copy without DRM is valid.
