Amazon did sell eBooks before the Kindle. When Amazon gave up on eBooks, nobody had access to redownload them. Back then, only MS Reader format could be stripped of DRM. A lot of people lost a lot of eBooks due to DRM biting them. Mostly it was PDF that was the problem. So if Amazon gives up eBooks this times, I think the same thing will happen and they will just stop selling eBooks. But if Amazon switches formats, I think it'll be like what Sony did going to all ePub.
