There is no reason they can't simply tell the epub bookstores: "This is the book. Carry it or not, that's your choice. But if you don't, the other guy will. Or we'll sell it straight from our website."

Exactly, that is why Epub3 is a really bad thing altogether putting publishers in a position to not make any ebooks any more, unless they also have a "book-only" version for Amazon. Unless Amazon itself would want to go Epub3, which I doubt b/c they only do what they want. As I understand, if a publisher decides to sell the ebook on their own, on other sites, and all that and also on Amazon it will still sell 95% of all sales on Amazon. Don't believe me, at least take HarryT into consideration:
