Well, if you have a kindle you have tied yourself to Amazon, but there are alternative book readers such as the Nook. For everything else, there is an endless array of outlets. The Amazon Marketplace is a convenience. We can all go directly to most sources without Amazon.

Public libraries, for starters.

We have a Kindle. We’ve never paid for anything and read a LOT. If I had to throw it away I’d survive. We’ve already got our money’s worth out of it.

Look up the program 'Calibre'. This allows you to convert books from many different formats (epub, lit, html, txt, pdf, etc) to mobi and load them into the Kindle.
