And as far as I can figure out, they only do this so it can use Amazon DRM instead of Adobe DRM. Because Kindles can do actual DRM free PDFs just as badly.
They did use Adobe DRM before they bought mobipocket or did azw (before azw3) or before the first Kindle. But you pay Adobe a royalty.
Also very long ago the DRM on PDFs was 'broken'. Still trival to save a password free version of a password protected PDF.
A company asked me once to develop a way of having a secure PDF for public download rather than their 'watermark'. I explained that such a thing is fantasy.
