The ecosystem is there to try to trick people into believing that AZW is good. It's not. There are a lot of things it just doesn't get right and never will. Even a simple blockquote is gets wrong.

They are all companies trying to make money. I think you are letting your emotions get the better of you if you think the same isn't true of B&N, Kobo, Sony, et all...
But at least they are current;y using the best format. Amazon is not using the best format. They are using a format that is even behind the now dead MS Reader format.
