Except Canada. And the UK. Oh, and Australia.
And of course 80% of the e-books sold are sold in the US. (10% for Europe and 10% for the rest of the world). And Amazon has 70-80% of the US market. But even if we pretended that the entire rest of the world did use epub, there's still a 65-35 global kindle/epub split.
But it's even more fragmented than that - you can't read nook books on a sony, or iBooks on anything but an iReader.
