However, we have no evidence WHATSOEVER that Amazon are planning to start selling or supporting ePub books. All that's happened is that Amazon are permitting publishers to submit books in ePub format; they may well be intending to simply convert them to the usual Mobi format for sale.
Given how well a lot of ePub converts to Mobipocket, it makes sense to allow publishers to only have to make one format and for Amazon to do the converting.
