The primary purpose in using DRM is to control copyright violations or the violation itself.

Under DRM protection, certain content providers have set up digital locks at the websites where their content is sold or available. As described previously, DRM is designed to give the publisher special privileges with respect to its work — including the ability to stop access and copying by others. While DRM is typically offered on the book's physical book cover, some technologies can be embedded in the electronic book itself.

Why does Amazon provide DRM-free downloads for music, but not for ebooks?

DRM is usually a demand by either the publisher not the bookstore (Amazon in this case but you could mention any other) the latter being perfectly aware of the futility of it but having no choice but toply. Music industry had the shock of digital much before publishing and had the luck of being driven out of their dinosauric ways by none other than Steve Jobs who through stick and carrot techniques helped by iTunes and the iPod managed to have them accept the new status quo. Kicking and screaming all the way yes but finally accepted it. Mostly. Enough at least to understand that DRM is a thing that sometimes works and sometimes don so they don try to force their hand at it every time. Publishing is in several ways a moreplicated industry than music with a higher rate of cross-breeding between the different pieces of the sales chain (publisher-printhouse-distributor-bookseller) and an even deeper ingrained mentality of we own this. That produces even bigger friction and inertia than music had which means they will not change unless forced to by circumstances and only in their own terms or so they expect. That why they deliberately sabotage eBook efforts by applying absurdly high pricing demanding crippling and unfriendly DRM making distribution difficult and so on. They cannot say no to digital but they must cripple it as much as possible to prevent hurting their bottom line which is very much paper-based. Unfortunately there also been no Steve Jobs-like figure yet to drag them from their old ways to the new ones. Add to the above their enormous sense of self-importance. In order to convince regulators to protect their business they have spent ages selling the idea that they kind of represent Culture so an attack on them means an attack on Culture. This is obviously not ; they are just merchants of cultural items they create no Culture even if they have a significant role in making it available to the masses but they have spent so much time convincing regulators of it that they finally believe it as if the Gospel. This is something which has never happened in such way with the music industry which consider themselves more into selling Entertainment than into selling Culture and add to their disdain for anything with the label digital on it.
