And will say something on this post that later we both can go back and check: I see ePub dying as the format we both know in about 3 to 5 years and most publishers adopting mobi as their favorite one Why? because most of the USA market is dominated by Amazon right now. Not sure about Europe or other countries though, but I don't see any important reason, after this news, in choosing ePub over azw or mobi, not after this deal.
World wide, ePub is the #1 format. And I do feel it will continue to be the #1 format. Amazon is trying to break things with AZW and they won't win in the long run.

Amazon had a chance to win when Sony wanted to add Mobipocket. That was when Amazon blew it big time and let ePub win.
