Yeah it is strange. I have bought mp3s on Amazon and downloaded the DRM free mp3 to listen to on my preferred player of choice. But, why is the stance on books different?
Amazon was originally a bookseller, so it was their main source of income. I don’t know how much money they make from MP3s, but it probably isn’t much. I don’t think DRMing their music is worth it for them. Many people view music as a service now and don’t even own any music. I keep expecting Amazon to switch over to streaming-only like Google did.
