I was wrong. It's a new format supporting textbook sales via a kind of PDF format. "Print Replica" is the marketing name. See
this page at the amazon site, or search Amazon for "Print Replica"
I'm sure the current de-DRM tools won't work properly on them.
Some of the books can be rented, as well as 'sold'. I'm not sure the current developers would be interested in removing DRM from rented books, and it seems likely that any tool that could remove the DRM from purchased "Print Replica" kindle ebooks would also work on the rented versions.
Here's a book in the new format:

Note the bit that says:
Print Replica: This Kindle book looks just like the printed book. Read it exclusively on Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac
