I agree that there is more to "Great on Kindle" than discounts, although the only place I've seen it mentioned is in posts by Fluribus in "Deals and Resources". I've found very little about it on amazon.com and the net in general.

It seems to be a way to get authors/publishers and the reading public interested in higher production values for ebooks, particularly images. Amazon's terms send mixed signals to authors/publishers with file size fees. (But cleaner line art doesn't necessarily lead to increased file size.) I know that I dread trying to read poorly scanned tables and lists.

The particular books available change over time. It will be interesting to see if this leads to increased quality.
