FWIU, it's a very limited list of only a few books from a few publishers and, like everything Amazon has done recently, it is an abject failure; perhaps intentionally so (in this case) since they've gone to great lengths to bury a book's epub availability deep within the description.
My guess is that this was done for antitrust reasons; so they can claim that their bookstore isn't solely a vertical integration with their hardware.
OR maybe someone high up at Amazon said "Hey, shouldn't we be selling content for other devices, as well?" This half-hearted attempt could be the line-folks pushing back; saying "we tried; it didn't work" (when they did everything they could to sabotage it.)
Either way, I'm not going to lift one finger to help MAGA Billionaire Bezos sell more books. So, no, let's not do that. I suppose I should be more empathetic towards him, though, given the thing that he has to wake up to each morning: Imagine having the billions to buy whatever joy you wanted in life ... and ending up with that as a trophy wife. Eesh.
