Okay, I'm probably remembering it from the JetBook days, but didn't Amazon make it a requirement that if a company wants to use Amazon's DRM format, it has to be the only DRM format?

I may be phrasing it wrong, and I'm oversimplifying the format names, but it seemed like you could have "epub (DRM free), Amazon (DRM and DRM-free)" or you could have "epub (DRM and DRM free), Amazon (DRM-free only)".

I'm reaching for really old memories, so I'm more than willing to admit I've gotten this wrong, if it is.
