The only way that Amazon is the only one effected is if the BPH say they will only sell in EPUB and I am not sure that type of a move is in their best interest because that would isolate 60-70% of the market and that strikes me as a bad, bad idea.

Agreed. My guess is that publishers bookstores will serve up ebooks in both formats, if they go that route. They don't want to piss off end users unnecessarily.
