Surely they would
only sell a book in EPUB format if they
also sell it in a format Kindle can read.
This would have no effect on the Kindle's value.
It would
only result in more ebook sales.

But what can the other store do that Amazon can't do better?
Wouldn't they just steal the whole show?
I really don't see the downside for Amazon.
