Wow such a strong word. So of all the things you can focus you hate at, you choose this?
Actually I'll disagree with you here, it is not the lack of reading ePUB that is makes it anti-competitive, it's DRM. And all the major publishers are guilty of it.
There are plenty of places outside of Amazon where you can buy books for your Kindle. You can still buy books from Smashword, Bean, Oriely to name a few.
Saying Amazon would be open because it reads Adobe ePUB is a false statement because one company owns that DRM and it's Adobe. For all you know Adobe can in one swoop close down access to all the other stores and open its own store and know everybody is in the same boat and Kindle owners.
