I find Kindle to be a massive upgrade over tangible books for me - I travel, so physical books get gifted away after finishing them, while I get to keep my Kindle books. And they're cheaper.

As a consumer, it's been a huge win for me. Could it be even better than now? Yeah sure probably, but I love paying less for books, getting them instantly, and being able to keep them instead of gifting them on for weight/space reasons.

Compared to what? I think it'd be easier/cheaper for anyone of moderate technical skill to learn how to remove DRM from a kindle book in order to duplicate it than to scan or photocopy a physical book in order duplicate it.

Many tech publishers sell unrestricted .mobi files if you buy directly from them. Some sci-fi publishers do as well, though most of what I read on my Kindle comes from feedbooks.com.

I didn't say don't do it; just to be aware that by buying books from Amazon, you're sending a message that you're OK with DRM.
