It is a strategy Amazon has adopted of locking down all Kindle ebooks just to the Kindle, even though DRMed MOBI ebooks would work perfectly well on the Kindle if Amazon let them. DRM is for the convenience of the publisher, or in this case of the device maker, not the consumer. One way this backfires is that it forces readers to either strip the DRM, or buy an ebook twice or, as in this case, forgo a needed capability.
