Good point. I actually think that what Amazon's doing is very similar to what Apple did with iTunes/iPod. Apple had the content, locked down with DRM, playable only on their device or through their software, and they used that massive amount of content to sell devices. Amazon's doing the same thing so far. I'd like to see them continue to follow in Apple's business model and eventually unlock their content. The only thing I have a problem with right now is that the Kindles don't support ePub.
