I'm sorry this simply isn't true. Leave aside sources of DRM-free books as these are the same for all devices. Now look at DRM.

The iPad currently has two sources: iBooks and Amazon.

ebook devices that support Adobe DRM have an ever-increasing number of sources. The sources are surely the stores, and the libraries which are increasing in number. The same is true of devices that support Secure eReader and Secure Mobipocket. There are more than two shops selling books in those formats.
