But then publisher does not equal typographer or printer in the paper book world either ... just because Amazon is not a publisher it does not necessarily mean it is not Amazon itself that creates the electronic version of the books (off whatever source they get from the publisher).
What I tried to say was nothing more or less than: just because a title is available as a kindle edition it does not necessarily mean it will be available in other formats as well ...

I tend to see it similarly. Just remember for how many years Amazon was willing to lose money and finally coming out as the big winner. I can very well imagine having had a success with a strategy in the past motivates trying it again.
