This is false. You are not locked into buying content from Amazon. As I pointed out on the Kindle forum version of this thread I have purchased a wealth of content from independent retailers like Smashwords and Drivethrurpg.com, as well as direct from publishers like Chaosium. I would say about 30-40% of the content on my Kindle DX was purchased from sources other than Amazon. Individuals may prefer other devices, Kindles just aren't a perfect fit for everyone, but this lock on buying only from Amazon is simply not true.
