Sorry, I wasn't clear. The thing about savings in publishing came from that article I had cited. Never did they use the term "encourage," nor did the article say that the 4 publishers were submitting ePUB yet. The gist was that the ePUB would be accepted by Amazon and
sold as ePUB by Amazon for the Kindle.
FTA: "Amazon has told US publishers that it will begin accepting digital files in the ePub format in the near future and will also
allow users of its Kindle device to read ePub files."
Obviously that isn't happening yet, so the "savings" still isn't there for the publishers.
My addition would be that I hope said savings is passed on to us readers... but then again, it seems like increased costs get passed on to consumers, but savings seldom do!
