Not at all... you need to do one of two things...

1. Buy DRMed books from the Kindle store ONLY.

2. Learn to RUN a python script that can remove the mobipocket DRM. This is far from becoming a python programmer, believe me.

As far as WHY Amazon does this is a mystery. Of course, I am sure the motivation is to lock Kindle buyers into the Kindle store... and to make people that want to buy from the Kindle store, buy a Kindle. Oh, wait, it isn't such a mystery after all.
