I know I can convert. But I also know I'd be giving money to Amazon for something they sell on an exclusive basis which I will NOT do. I will not help Amazon with exclusivity. You have a Kindle so you feel this is a good thing. Many do not and overall it's a very bad thing.

I must admit though to not being a fan of the format wars, they are shown to be a useless endeavor, unless you think that winning the format wars monetarily means anything.

Basically, ePub was poised to take over and become the format. It still is, but first, we need to get Amazon to see the light. If it wasn't for Amazon, the wars would be almost non-existent.

But in this case, losing customers is very backwards thinking.
