While this isn't conclusive, I suspect that those who think that the difference is just self published books, or duplicate titles are engaged in wishful thinking.
What you just showed is a major issue for eBooks. The tower or eBabel we have is doing eBooks no justice at all. Especially when publishers don't know how to handle it. We now have eReader, PDF, BBeB, AZW/Topaz, MS Reader, & ePub as the major formats. That 5 different formats that ever eBook needs to support.
