Maybe Amazon is resistant to using/loading any software not under their control?
Makes one think about their on-going cooperation/coalition with Apple and the iPhone apps.

It's a matter of control. Amazon doesn't want to support anything they don't have full control over. So in order to "say" they support PDF, they've limited it to the barest features needed to be able to "say" they support PDF. And as far as DRMed PDF go, that won't happen since Amazon doesn't sell them. And you can forget about an updated to ever support ePub. If Amazon doesn't sell it, they don't want to support it. I think PDF was grudgingly added to the DX.
