There is a way to get the eBooks off the iPod. You use a program to extract from the iTunes backup.

The thing is, with a Kindle, there is a chance you might not have access to the Sprint network. So ou can download the eBooks to your computer. But if you can register your iPhone/iPod, you do have access to AT&T and/or wifi. So there's no need to allow you to download to your computer. Plus, it's just another way for Amazon to control what you can and cannot do with the eBooks they sell you.
