1. Although publishers (curse them) do impose restrictions, they're not necessarily uniform - so different booksellers might be on different terms. Any independent seller will confirm that the big guys get better deals. Certainly that's the case with treebooks, so I think it's a fair inference that it's also the case with ebooks.
2. The question is: what's my best source of ebooks and, maybe by implication, what's my best ereader. If only Amazon sell ebooks for Kindle, then the 2 questions are the same. if, OTOH, many people sell ebooks for (say) Cool-er), the two questions might be separate.
