Well, if it's DRM free, there's nothing at all going to stop Amazon's customers from buying it, converting it and reading it.
Admittedly, some percentage will not wish to take the extra step of converting with Calibre. Some are going to be offended just by having to sideload it. I never get that, since sooner or later, you need to hook a cord to a device to charge it. I don't get why it is so onerous to some folks to use the same cord to hook it to a computer and transfer a file or two once in a while.
Honestly though, I don't know why they don't just offer it in both formats. But who knows, maybe by October, Kindle will be supporting ePub. Things can change fast in our world.
