I imagine the fact that PDFs can't be DRMed is the only reason for them not to offer too many features in non-Topaz format ebooks (and not to support ePub).
The amount of OCRed PDF ebooks is rising on a daily basis (
Cambridge UP and others are already offering some texts as ebooks legally), but those publishers, and that format, doesn't force force people to buy from and stay with Amazon; Only DRM support (combined with the fear of piracy) will do that.
