I think they're walking a tight line there. The only reason they're not going over it, is because they don't force you to buy their books. You can still get books from other sources.

Again that would make sense if you could only get that specific book from the Kindle...or if they are the only ebook store...or if you signed a contract saying you would buy 24 books a year from their store.
I don't know of any exclusives (besides self published stuff), they are far from the only ebook store/reader and there is nothing forcing you to actually use their store. You could easily buy a Kindle and never give Amazon a cent by filling it with public domain books.
