Before eBook readers, we had a major tower of eBable with a number of different eBook formats. Now we almost have it correct with one format. But what I want to know is why did we let Amazon cause so much disruption? If Amazon had gone ePub, we'd not really have so much of an issue (as long as the DRM was compatible). But people bought into Amazon's way of doing things and now we have major splintering.
Can anything be done to stop this splintering and bring things together?
