I don't think anyone is saying that it is a dead end, just that it is hurting the ePub retailers ability to compete with Amazon. It isn't ePub vs Amazon, it is B&N vs Kobo vs Sony vs Apple vs Amazon. The ePub retailers are fighting amongst themselves just as much as against Amazon.

But don't tell me that this is some kind of metaphysical decision that B&N and Kobo forced you into by doing the exact same things that Amazon does.
The difference is that Amazon have done it successfully and have a huge customer base to sell to. B&N and Kobo haven't.
