I wonder why the contradiction between their music service or their Kindle service?
I think the book publishers are probably still a bit more tight-fisted than the music companies. Music companies have been in the electronic content business on a large scale for quite awhile longer. Bear in mind that Amazon has to negotiate with them to sell ebooks and if they're not willing to let Amazon sell DRM-free then it's not like they can turn around and just do it anyway. I'm not saying that Amazon actually wants to sell DRM-free. I have no idea, but just because they're doing some music that way and not books doesn't necessarily make them hypocrites.
