The Kindles are just a way to get people to buy e-books, but Amazon don't care if you read their e-books on a Kindle, a PC, a Mac, an iPad, an Android phone or tablet, a Blackberry, or whatever. Letting the Kindle read ePub books would entirely defeat the purpose of the exercise, which is to bring business to Amazon's e-book store.
And I'm back to my standard lament--if Amazon wants to sell e-books, why won't they sell them to me now that I've bought a non-Kindle?

I really do understand why Kindle doesn't support epub. It makes business sense. But I cannot understand why Amazon doesn't SELL epub.
