Not sure why you expected anything different -- especially since they almost certainly want to prevent users from, for example, downloading e-books scanned as part of the Google Book project and loading them on a Sony or Kindle e-book device.

Besides, public domain doesn't mean the title has to be sold for $0.00 or go without DRM. It means that "anyone can publish it." So if I want to put together all the Shakespeare plays in one e-book, add a table of contents, slap some DRM on it and charge $5, that's perfectly legit.
