I just feel the need to say that imo, there is nothing silly or pointless about consumers making their wishes known about what they'd like a company to offer. Smart companies wisely don't get defensive about it, even if they can't accommodate the requests.
I can appreciate enough reasons Amazon wouldn't accommodate this particular request to sell or support ePub, and don't expect them to, at least not anytime soon.
But I think, in general, it is misguided to say you shouldn't complain about features inherent in a choice you made.
Think about it: Consumer "demands" are what got us such things as TTS, starting with K2, and WiFi on Kindle 3.
Yet before they were implemented, people were scoffed at for wanting them (told to shut up and "Buy a nook"), and even Amazon said publicly they had no intentions to include WiFi on Kindles.
They obviously listened to the demands and changed their minds, and I commend them for it. It's what makes them more successful than so many other companies.
