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.

Are you SURE that Amazon scanned and OCR'd them?
Most of Macmillan's books have been available DRM free from the 'Universal Library' in multiple formats for years now. it seems more likely that Amazon would have saved themselves a lot of work by 'sharing' the load!
Or are the Topaz-format ones too badly formatted for that?
