If the price is good and can't be duplicated elsewhere and you've got a means to read the book, then it's not a problem.

I get that people are willing to stand on principle on this. I personally would continue to buy Kindle books in the right combination of circumstances. In fact, I had stopped buying Kindle books in November 2023 when they nerfed their rewards program, after which Kobo was always cheaper. But so far this year, I've run across two Kindle books I wanted that couldn't be price-matched and I bought them. I will continue to do so even if I'm limited to a Kindle device. It's not a moral issue for me.
