I felt the exact same way. I found there was exactly one example of a vehicle being in the park, and everything else was fine. That didn't seem to be their intent
You clearly didn't understand. It's mostly not able how easy or not you found it to apply the rule, it was about how whatever you decided was actually quite different from other people. In fact, you finding it very clear makes the point apply even more.
I felt it was easy too, but I felt that almost every item listed was a vehicle and in the park. If it helps here was my reasoning. To start with I checked the dictionary for a definition and it appears that a vehicle is "A device or structure for transporting persons or things; a conveyance". Then it was a matter of categorizing.
The only one I had to deliberate was the horse, because while it transports persons or things it isn't a device or structure. I ended up saying almost everything was a vehicle and in the park.
All e-readers can read DRM-less books. It's trivial to convert from a DRM free epub on calibre to a mobi or azw3 to use on a kindle, even. I've never felt too restricted unless I buy books directly from Amazon, because their DRM is far more strict.
I guess my point about DRM is more that the books I want to read are generally only available in DRMed formats. But maybe that's not true? I don't use an Amazon e-reader, for what it's worth.
There's a calibre plugin that removes DRM from most epubs and some Kindle books. It's a pain to set up, because you need old versions of Adobe Digital Editions and/or Kindle, and those run on Windows (I haven't tried them on Wine). But once it's set up, it works fine.
If you live in the US then you might check your local, public library. They've often got volumes of e-books (pun intended :) ), and you can borrow them for a while. Still DRM'd but an easy and free way to access books
It's going to largely depend on the publisher. The publisher, not the platform, controls whether the book is sold with DRM or not. The majority are, yes, although the one genre where that's generally not true is Sci-Fi. There was a time, at least, when most of the major sci-fi publishers opted not to sell their books with DRM, because they thought it was an abuse of technology. Not sure how much that still holds true, but publishers like Tor still sell all of their stuff DRM-free.

Did you wipe off Windows and install Arch from scratch? I have been considering that, but haven't yet found any encouraging reviews on how well that goes. Especially: can you use the pen?
AWS is what I use personally, and their certificate service is a breeze to use. Couple that with the ability to attach the certificate directly to the load balancer (one of the best features of the LB, in my mind), or to a Cloudfront distribution, and it's amazingly simple to have everything running with SSL.
