There's no possibility at all of Amazon using Adobe's current DRM.

It's a mobipocket format file, so mobipocket-capable readers (like all current Kindles) can display the book. But added to the end of the file (in one of the records), is the ePub file. For new software that understands this format, the ePub can be displayed instead of the Mobipocket data. Mobipocket rendering software (current Kindles) ignores this extra record completely. It just makes the file about twice as big as otherwise.
Amazon's Kindlegen program already generates exactly this kind of file when the source is an ePub. The source data is added as the penultimate record.
