You also don't know if you'll get a pdf instead of epub until you actually try to download. Blah!

So far it's mostly ePub. But your correct, you could get struck with PDF.

Amazon to Allow Downloads of DRM Free Books - PDF Conundrum
I have tried to download what I assume to be PDF copies of various books. It takes a while for the PDF document to download as a browser page. When I try to save the file, I get the following:

ebook-
contentDTP_ long file name of letters and numbers.xml

Couldn't download - no permissions.

There is an option to edit with Acrobat where I get the sales pitch to subscribe to the software. Also, an option to sign in. The sales pitch page has no sign in option. So, I went through the exercise of downloading and installing Adobe Acrobat Reader plus updating my Adobe password.

Any idea where the permission comes from?

I didn't have any of the problems with pdfs that you're describing. I could just press control + S to save them.

No issues with pdfs for me either. Just clicked the download button after it opened in my browser.
