To verify this, I think you'll find (when you check again), that most of the "exclusive" titles were in fact Topaz-format ebooks: a sure sign that Amazon themselves scanned and OCR'd the title.

I wonder what that does to the Agency model. Under the Agency model, the publisher has to retain legal title to the digital books. I've wondered if that meant that the books had to be sourced and DRM'ed from the publisher and Amazon is just the pass through.
Does anyone know if Apple requires you to host the app itself? I assume that it does.
