Because if they did and the numbers got out into the wild, I think Amazon would be quite thoroughly embarrassed.

I disagree, and not because I'm an amazon fangirl.
Based on what authors have posted in these forums they all sell many more ebooks via amazon than any other outlet, i.e. Smashwords, Kobo, Sony, etc. That seems to show a commanding lead in Kindle units over the others. The technologically advanced who can strip DRM from an amazon title and convert it to use on a non-Kindle ereader is not your typical user. Most of these sales are from people reading them on their Kindle (or a Kindle for... app).
