So... that is NOT an Amazon mandate. You heard it from the horses mouth.
Bob, it would be worthwhile for you to read the pertinent paragraph from the Amazon contract, which can be found in Joshua Tallent's piece on Teleread.

This is the problem with Amazon -- the PR department says one thing and the legal department another. But it is the legal department that prevails. At least one publisher has said that there is no negotiation about DRM with Amazon.
