Some of it is data related. When Amazon does the download, not only do they store data (how many checkouts, how much was read) they also get direct access to the reader's email. Every time I finish a kindle checkout from my library, I get an offer to "buy" the book from Amazon.

Some books still are epub only, but I think there are fewer that have that problem.
