You can look at it both ways. It provides a simplified experience, but you're also tied to only a single retailer for your content. Is that good or bad?

2 friends of mine made outstanding experiences with Amazon's support (one even posted somewhere in the forum. He dropped his Kindle, crushed the screen. Amazon, although not being responsible, did exchange it for free, although it already was out of any warranty [which wouldn't have covered such accidents anyway]). This they only can do because their cashflow and profit lies in the content, not in the hardware itself. And this in many ways allows extraordinary customer experience.

To be fair, I've also seen iRex repair/replace devices for free that were outside of warranty and technically should not have been covered.
