(All of that if I understand it all)
If that's the case, then Adobe has just handed Amazon the winning goal. It means that the BPH are in trouble as they won't have a leg to stand on to do any sort of dealing with Amazon. They will need Amazon more then ever as I can easily see lots of people switching. Even if Adobe goes back to the way things were, it will be too late and Amazon will have won and goodbye ePub.

Thank you Adobe for potentially making ePub an obsolete format thanks to your asinine new DRM.
