If it makes better financial sense for them to switch than to keep trying to develop mobi then I am sure what would happen is you get Amazon drm wrapped round epub, this whole question of epub vs mobi is just stupid really, the true competition is between the competing drm formats until the market grows up enough to move beyond it.
