It's not just Amazon. Kobo has gone Adobe corrupted too and now instead of epub downloads, or even just the basic consideration of telling you what format the book is in you first have to pay for the book then you get to find out weather you're getting actual text or just some shell of a drm file pointing to adobe's servers (.acsm). I've had to sit through a couple 30 minute chat holds with Kobo in order to get refunds recently due to their lack of proper labeling. When there is no option to buy the actual text of a book I will try pirating and it is almost always simpler and faster. If pirating fails too then I have to find an old paperback to buy and send off to a scanner/OCR company.
