It's a HUGE deal if you want to sell books. Yes the Kindle reads DRM free books, but 80% of the books being sold in terms of dollar volume MUST be sold with DRM. Thus anyone with a Kindle can't buy and read the majority of books being sold if they buy those books from a 3rd party. I know you can buy good books without DRM, but if you want to read Stephen King, Nora Roberts, John Grisham they are ONLY sold with DRM. Selling those ebooks when they can't work on the eBook reader system that has sold more units than every other system becomes a problem. Note, I happen to have a solution for getting ebooks with DRM onto a kindle in a readable form that I'm working on.
