That strikes me as bizzare, and I don't think that the on device conversion part is explicit in the cited documentation. My speculation is that amazon made arrangements with google and microsoft to do conversion on the cloud side. That is also somewhat bizarre, so we will have do see. Maybe the cloud requirement only applies to the google and microsoft proprietary formats.

If the conversion really is on device and cloud download is required, that is a good way to piss off anyone that doesn't want either of those cloud services and is a strong incentive to find a way to trigger on device conversion of USB transferred content on jailbroken devices.
