Many people do and I understand why. Do you realise, however, that you can have your cake and eat it to. I use my Oasis as Amazon intended, downloading books directly from Amazon to it in whatever format Amazon chooses. However, I also download a copy on my computer for "transfer by USB" and import it to Calibre, removing DRM. That way I have the best of both worlds. I can enjoy Amazon's excellent infrastructure as they intend it whilst also having a DRM free backup and avoiding lock-in.
