It would require of Amazon to implement a way to differentiate between books that can only be downloaded via your internet connection and books that can also be downloaded by way of the Kindle/iphone/itouch wireless.

Yep. They track a lot of things, this is something else they could do very easily. Charging contingency fees for something you cannot use is a typical and common online scam, as I said. This is in no way "insane", it's my typically pragmatic-above-all view of looking at offerings.
I'm sad but not surprised to see that some people refuse to condem Amazon for this, and it never seems to make the articles - it's a big deal, especially when it ties you into a closed and propriatory ecosystem.
