They should do like Sony did and drop their own format and go full speed with EPub.

I don't follow your logic. How does Amazon not supporting ePub make matters worse as far as eBooks not having real publishers?
Converting to ePub at this point would be an
enormous and costly undertaking for Amazon. There will be 700,000 ebooks in Amazon's catalog very soon. That's a huge number of ebooks that would need to be converted and proofed. And if they don't do this conversion they'd have to sell and support two formats.
I just don't see ePub making any sense for Amazon.
