I've purchased physical books from Amazon for many years, love to shop there, but when I finally decided to get an e-reader just a couple of weeks ago, I didn't buy a Kindle. Which means that Amazon can no longer get my book business going forward. If Amazon sold epubs, I'd continue to shop there. If Kindle supported epubs, I might well have bought one.
So they've in effect turned away the business of a loyal customer. I just don't understand it.
