Amazon’s books contain DRM. iTunes music that you bought within the last decade was DRM free and could be played and backed up anywhere. Apple couldn’t “revoke” DRM free music that you backed up.

not all of Amazons books contain DRM. There's a big movement (mostly authors of Baean Books, afaik) that ask that the books be published DRM-free.

The people who publish books on Amazon have the option of them being DRM-free or not. The books I publish on AMZN are DRM-free.

Anything published by Tor Books as well. (Us sci-fi fans are lucky!)

Generally, if the book I'm looking for is sold DRM-free, I'll buy the ebook for convenience. Otherwise, I'll go look for a used paper copy.
