While there is a lopsided focus on Amazon's ecosystem, I also want to point out that the epub market, and even public libraries' lending programs are DRM-laden.

While there is a lopsided focus on Amazon's ecosystem, I also want to point out that the epub market, and even public libraries' lending programs are DRM-laden. In many cases you have to install Adobe Digital Editions DRM. Further, author points out a lawsuit filed against Amazon from 2021, but I believe they're missing a crucial piece of history. The ebook ecosystem was originally poisoned by Apple who was found guilty of collusion; unfortunately by the time the challenges and ruling was complete, the damage had been done and publishers had decided to entrench themselves. We are seeing the repercussions of it today. What could have been a thriving, open ecosystem was ruined by corporate greed, and there is plenty of blame to go around.
