Re:I wouldn't publish on Kindle if it was Open (Score 1)

The Kindle already supports a few formats that are DRM-free, though. The problem is the publishers who refuse to offer books in them.

I'm constantly seeing if I can buy a book directly from a publisher, but their websites usually have links to restricted formats the Kindle doesn't support, so I'm always forced to go back to Amazon.com and buy the book from Amazon. If the publishers just offered a DRM-free version of the book, I'd be able to give all my money to them and not give all the power to Amazon.

The solution is to convince the publishers to change, not Amazon. Just like Apple needed to convince Sony, Universal, EMI, etc...
