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".

Well, nope.
Me maybe, as I can de-drm.
But if you take the avrage french guy :
He don't want to read in english. And want to read the last book from well knows authors. Avrage guy don't want to de-drm.
Right now, that means using a reader with adobe adept.
If Amazon want to have a part of the market in france anywhere near significant, they have two solutions :
- Make partnership with the publishers, sell the e-book with their own format, on amazon.fr. (Me myself is happy with having only one format, so no go for me).
- Add ePub functionality (with adobe drm), to kindle. (So they can sell kindle) and / or sell ePub (so they can sell books)
