Amazon won't sell EPub. The publishers insist on DRM and Amazon won't pay for ADE. The other bookstores can't sell mobi using Amazon's DRM. Until DRM is gone, there are no opportunities for cross format sales of major publisher books.

The indie stores cannot sell agency books. They are not allowed or have been able to negotiate with the big 6 so they can sell those books.
