I think you misread what I said.
I know amazon want exclusives and will only sell the book through their own site. What I was questioning is whether the "initially available" part was alluding to them selling the books to non-kindle owners.
As in, a Sony/Kobo owner could sign up to amazon, buy the book from them and copy it to their device. Which could only be possible if they sold the books DRM free so that non-kindle owners could buy the mobi file and convert to their devices format (assuming they don't offer epub and the device doesn't support DRM free mobi).
I really hope that's the case even though I have my doubts.
