You end up with a relationship with whom ever you purchase a product from... like it or not. As for books, you are not locked into Amazon... You are locked with Amazon if you want to use Wispernet but that is about it.
Not to mention that the costumer service I have received from Amazon has been incredible. They had to replace my Kindle and they sent me the replacement kindle overnight...
