It may be, but in this case, I think it's more likely that it's because the book is 90% images, and won't translate well into e-ink. Kind of the same reason that the publisher of the Laura Ingalls Wilder autobiography gave.

Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography is a complex book, filled with annotations, appendices, images, and Wilder’s original text, and the development of a faithful eBook version compatible with the most popular eBook devices will be a complicated process. The South Dakota Historical Society Press has not yet set a date for the eventual release of Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography as an eBook.
