All publishers have to do is sell books without DRM. I've personally bought more books from both Fictionwise and Baen than I have from Amazon.

But instead of doing this, Fictionwise was bought out by B&N who proceeded to try to turn it into a DRMed e-book store. But funny enough, it still seems like it's the multi-format (aka non-DRM) books that sell better, even though these mostly seem to be legacy books (titles that used to be on the store before they got bought out) or self-published stuff.
The publishers just may go DRM free for that reason- but going DRM free alone won't break Amazon's hold on the market.
