If all you are concerned about is distribution for the Kindle, I believe there's an Adobe unit that will create Kindle files if the publisher doesn't supply them.
But the ebook universe is more than Adobe, and more complex to handle.
XML as the standard storage format won't happen quickly. It's a major change in workflow requiring a different set of tools, and a fair bit of investment by the publishers.
And yes, it's the fourth year the Kindle has been sold, but note the progression in ebook sales:
How many folks do you think might have predicted the growth rate 4 years ago? Hindsight is always 20/20...
