Whether an ebook you open has DRM or not is one of the things that is logged and uploaded to Amazon when you go online. What they do with that information is anyone's guess, but presumably they have some use for it.

Other things that are logged are your GPS location (if you have 3G), the time and date you open the ebook, how long you read for, and whether you finish it or not. I'm not sure what GPS location is used for, but all the others will be useful marketing information when used with your Amazon browsing history. Knowing when you are expected to finish your latest book being the most useful.
