It just works where Amazon has some secret crap that needs to be added and might only work when the eBook is DRMed.

Do any of the eBooks listed come without DRM? If not, maybe the secret code and DRM are key?
They are going about this wrong, i agree. i wish they had made the feature widely available and released the tech specs when they announced it.
