Double irony, then. Whether you read on the web or a Kindle e-reader or on your iPhone, you're still locked to the single Kindle platform.

I must admit that my many Kobo purchases aren't much better. I'm not locked to the Kobo platform, but I am locked to Adobe DRM.

I can now read Kindle books on any computer with a reasonable browser. I can't even read iBooks on my Mac. I prefer O'Reilly-style DRM-free PDFs, but at least I don't have to own an iDevice for the rest of my life to read my ebooks.
