Great thinking... a one stop shop for people without Kindles who have other readers that use ePub or similar... I have never bought an ebook from Amazon as they use a format I don't want and can't be bothered with changing (and many people are not familar with de-DRMing and format changing) so not having Amazon as the "one-stop" shop seems like a very good idea...
