What does that have to do with ePub?
If they wanted to do an end run around Amazon, they would sell unDRMd mobi files directly.
And none of that deals with the prisoners dilemma aspect. It may well be in all the PBHs interests for them all to refuse to deal with Amazon. But they cannot collude to agree to all do that, and it is not in any of their individual interests to unilaterally refuse to deal with Amazon.
Why would one PBH, alone from all the others, deliberately cut themselves off from all Kindle owners?
The PBHs want themselves to succeed. You want Amazon to fail. Those are not the same thing.
