I just got this via email and I'm very disappointed too.
DRM issues aside, Kindle is still terrible for tech books. Code samples, data tables, etc. They all look crummy. The pdf ebooks from the Oreilly store had far superior formatting.

This isn't just one seller leaving the field, it means that there will be no more DRM-free (legit) versions of a wide swath of development books.
A sad day.
