Amazon is not fighting a monopoly. They are leveraging their near monopoly on the ebook market in order to put out their own format, and in turn using the format to further enhance their monopoly.
Sorry, but amazon users cannot simultaneously argue that ePub is not a standard that needs to be followed AND ePub is a monopoly to be fought against.
