fjtorres, this explanation is the first one I've seen that makes sense to me.

But what it really comes down to is that Amazon does want one size to fit all--it wants a monopoly. Amazon's tactics seem to be designed to defeat epub, not to let it coexist. It's a format war, with Amazon on one side and everyone else on the other side. The ease of format shifting may mean there's a stalemate for a long time.

I'm just wondering--with Agency books, so price is eliminated as a factor, do people with devices that can have both Kindle and Nook/Kobo/etc. apps buy epubs or Amazon books? That would be an interesting survey.
