I think that's more due to their being more music labels that are willing to let Amazon sell their stuff DRM-free. The music download business is a bit more mature and they've had more time to realize the upsides. The publishers may not be so inclined. Amazon needs their consent to sell their books. If they aren't willing to sell DRM-free, Amazon can't make them.
