Suppose Amazon decided to allow ePub without DRM on its devices -- just as it does PDF -- but doesn't sell any content in that format. Would that satisfy anyone? I am guessing that firmware update would be "trivial".

And suppose Amazon Kindle -- especially in finding a solution to give the Kindle access to Overdrive from public libraries -- offered a one-time license fee update ($5? $10?) which gave them a patched firmware that also supported DRM ePub through Adobe? But Amazon continued to sell only Kindle format books? Would that satisfy anyone?

Be careful what you ask for: how would the ePub only bookstores, and ePub only hardware devices fare with a Kindle with such capabilities?
