*Answer: Just like the Kindle book owners, they'll cope just fine, because this 'lock in' is non-issue that actually effects just about nobody on either side.
except the fact is there's a huge difference in the two "open" formats. While technically the kindle is open because of mobi, the downside is your choices of books to buy are basically limited to obscure authors or out of copyright public domain, in which any reader can pick up.

with ePub you can go to your favorite mainstream author and other in copyright publishers books.
