The publisher is probably describing TOPAZ ebooks. These are created by Amazon and are Kindle-only. They don't preclude the publisher from later from producing their own ebook in multiple formats, I have one TOPAZ ebook that is no longer available having been replaced by an AZW, but TOPAZ probably is a bad deal for most publishers.
