If Baen has to do the conversion to various formats, what are they converting FROM? I would guess, in most cases, Adobe InDesign and/or MS-WORD. Man, we need an e-book standard. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll get more, "Well Amazaon's got the lock, and converting to 3-4 different formats is a pain, so we'll just make Kindle Editions".
At least TOR has said the books will be DRM free, so perhaps we're finally seeing the beginning of the end of DRM. One battle at a time.
