They haven't, however. You just need to take an extra step (moving the ebook files) in order for the Kindle app to find the sideloads since browser downloads don't go directly into the library - apparently the Kindle app doesn't contain any sort of file browser so you can add them from within the app. (at least as far as I can gather from the Gutenberg webmaster's rant, linked to earlier)
And, of course, nothing is stopping you from using any other
ebook reader app (except for Barnes & Noble's, though that's probably B&N's decision rather than Amazon's - Amazon has no problem offering Kobo's app)
