Amazon dominates the US market. I read a report in the Guardian that said 75% of all e-readers in the UK were Kindles.

So why would the Publishers want to piss off the supplier of the vast majority of their e-books?
Two reasons.. One, if Amazon isn't selling the eBook, the hardcover may sell better and by forcing Amazon to go ePub, it means publishers only having to make one format and thus, more profit.
