I have just had a heated conversation with Amazon.co.uk (23 July 2012) - they actually telephoned me after I made a complaint - and they were quite clear that they only sell Kindle eBooks - so no more ePubs or similar.

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).

Apparently, they don't care about alienating a whole section of the internet buying public.
