At the beginning, Amazon was a lot more open. Calibre was able to access the Kindle database and collections could be managed with Calibre. But the problem is that too many people screwed up their Kindle. This meant that a lot of people were calling up Amazon ask for help. So Amazon decide to avoid this going forward and lock up the Kindle software.
