Of the dozen or so cellphones, laptops, desktops ereaders and sundry reading-compatible devices lying around my house, the Kindle app only supports one. FBreader supports seven, and half the rest have their own built-in ePub support.

FBReader is certainly able but to what end. It doesn't read DRM. When you buy a book from Amazon you now have the option to read it on Kindle for PC, Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for Android, this opens up a whole lot of new platforms to read on. This is why I don't think Amazon is anyway near to loose there market share. That and the fact that they're still pricing there e-books at very competitive prices.
