For the average person this isn't a problem. if you buy a kindle, you will only buy from the kindle store.

Exactly, I'm having this argument in another thread.
Format's are moot. Once a device comes out that is the cool "must have" device like the iPod and starts selling like crazy, that format will win.
The Average Joe doesn't give a crap about these nerd wars over which format is best etc. They'll buy the hyped device and get all their content from it, just like people bought iPods and all their songs from iTunes and never knew anything about AAC, DRM etc.
The people who do care about formats etc. never determine the success of devices and formats. That's on the joe six pack casual users who don't buy devices based on those, but on hype and ease of use etc.
