More like a monopoly... you can only read Amazon eBooks on Kindles or with Amazon Kindle apps...

At least ePubs can be read on a variety of platforms (produced by different manufacturers) with a variety of software (produced by a variety of people/companies). If you don't like current platforms or software then you are free to develop your own... oh yes, the US is now an ever decreasing percentage of the world market...

Kindle format came first and has 80% of the US market. That sounds like a standard to me.
