That's a fault of the DRM, not the underlying format. And every major store is doing the same thing by fragmenting their DRM. At least BN lets me download the file directly, something 'normal' ADRM doesn't let me do, and then it's trivial to remove the DRM.
I was seriously looking at Amazon with the announcement of KF8, as I want a format that can cleanly be shifted. However, the inability to determine which books are which format on Amazon, combined with the slew of proprietary tags killed that.
To each their own, I was not and am not trying to convince anyone of anything, I was simply expressing appreciation of the OP's actions.
