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.
I was being facetious, mate.

However, I also do not espouse the cause of ePub as a standard that absolutely needs to be followed. I have no problems with the mobi format. It is DRM I have a gripe with. The issue as I see it, is DRM vs non-DRM. Not DRM vs ePub.
