A question about DRM

Perhaps someone can clarify this for me?

1. If I buy a Kindle, can I read ebooks from any other source, or am I bound to Amazon?

2. If I buy an ebook from Amazon, can I read it on any ebook reader, or am I bound to a Kindle?

No you're not bound to purchase all ebooks from Amazon for your Kindle. I purchase ebooks mostly from Fictionwise dot com website and either download it to my computer or email it to my Kindle email address. I found the pricing at Fictionwise is mostly cheaper than Amazon. Amazon charges a 10 cent fee for the transfer to the Kindle using your Kindle email.

When checking out Ebooks just make sure chosen format is applicable to Kindle.
