Although I run Windows, I can buy my software from Adobe, Corel, and thousands of other vendors. If I buy a Kindle, I break the license agreement if I do not buy the books as well from Amazon. And because Amazon has the ability to disable the Kindle remotely, it is in a position to enforce the TOS. That is a significant difference between the two business models.
