Maybe Amazon is not only firing a shot across the bow of the big publisher houses, but also trying to make the Kindle more attractive because of lower priced ebooks in bid to attract Kindle customers away from Apple's soon to be announced iSlate and ebooks on iTunes?

Nothing in the Amazon announcement mentions preventing authors from selling through other outlets. In regards to a Kindle version, I can't think why you would want to. However, Amazon's agreement doesn't stop an author from offering a Sony version and a B&N version. Now if Sony and B&N will just give authors a better share of the revenue.
