Uhm, try looking up Fair Use. Or do you think a clickwrap agreement beats that?

DMCA is another matter, but as far as I know, the issue has not been definitively decided (and if it was, there is a good chance it will be on the side of Fair Use).

But, as a practical matter, the fact remains that people can remove DRM and move titles purchased from Amazon to devices other than the Kindle, while an iApp is useless outside of an iDevice. So books as iApps are a non-starter for many.
