Of course they don't want people to take books out of the Kindle ecosystem. That's why they created the Kindle ecosystem in the first place.
At first they were more lax about this and instead focused on invention, better customer experience, the carrot instead of the whip. Then, after they were firmly the market leader (and possibly also the management had changed), they started to focus on preventing folks from leaving, not on enticing them to stay.
