I think it would be a landslide for the shopping around.
In fact I'm willing to be they would be champagne corks popping if Amazon agreed to bring ePub on board

People have that choice right now and they are buying Kindles. Libraries are not used as much as some people think they are. I would bet that more people go to the library to use the computers then to check out books.
I have no problem with EPub. I would be happy if Amazon brought EPub on board. I doubt that they will ever bring on a version of EPub that requires the use of Adobe software.
The reality, for me and many other folks, is that Amazon provides the books that we need and the format doesn't matter. I know that the EPub users want it to matter but it doesn't.
