ETA: You can still download a DRM-free AZW/AZW3 format book for sideloading, but then you lose out on the enhanced typesetting features.
Why?

Adobe can do it so nothing special has to be done. If the font used supports ligatures you get ligatures. As long as the language used has a hyphenation dictionary, you get hyphenation. If spaces need to be adjusted, they are.

Why did Amazon have to go and create a new format for the enhanced typesetting?
