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.

If the BPH said only ePub, then Amazon would have to adapt or die. If Amazon left the eBook market, it would mean sales for other readers would skyrocket and life would continue.
