AND, the Kindle eBooks they sell can only be read on a Kindle device or using a Kindle eReader app. So you can't copy them into Calibre (eg) and convert to ePub (etc).
The 'official line' has always been that you need a Kindle device/app to read Kindle books. That doesn't mean you can't put them in Calibre for conversion, just that Amazon isn't going to support it being done.
