People actually buying the book properly pays authors. KU doesn't.

There are various categories that are nothing to do with DRM removal that don't use WiFi/Mobile direct to Kindle and have to use Download for USB transfer.

Also it's all nonsense anyway. Zero DRM on Amazon or no downloads to PC would have a marginal affect on piracy either way and none on big pirates.

It might be a mistake to think Amazon actually has a coherent plan.
