inferior site with Higher prices? LOL pleeazze come on Prof. Apple ruined Amazon's price advantage about year ago.

Prices and selection between BN and Amazon are basically non existant. That's an old and quite frankly a tiring argument.

Barnes and Noble has caught up in a huge way in both price and selection. in a short period of time. Amzon may have more technical books or specialized books but beyond that. Sorry it's just not there anymore.

So what was Google's business decision to use ePub instead of mobi? And also the kobo ebookstore existed a lot longer then their own device, so why didn't they use mobi.
also why did the Library with Overdrive support ePub, when it could have chosen mobi.?

the industry chose ePub when it could have chosen mobi. sort of like the movie industry supporting blu ray instead of hd dvd.

Mobi is now a small player as where ePub is now the major player. Sounds like they all made sound business decisions.
