"I can't imagine the bandwidth costs it would take to offer FLAC downloads"

Amazon charges only 13 cents per GB for their S3 service so their costs are even lower. Assuming an average lossless CD is 250-500 MBs that's only 3.25-6.5 cents per full album. And that's the price Amazon currently charges to make a profit, so their actual cost would be even less.
