I wonder if Amazon will introduce ePub with the (assumed to be forthcoming) UK Kindle. Many UK publishers seem happy with an ePub-only strategy and I have always wondered why they do this since MOBI is an obvious alternative with a wider reader base. One answer might be that signing up with mobipocket.com automatically allows Amazon to add the title to any Kindle with the right geographic rights, and they prefer to negotiate with Amazon directly. Another might be that they know Amazon will take their ePubs when the times comes.
