The majority of books sold are Kindle books.

The majority of ebook sellers are not Amazon (because there are at least two other ebook sellers).

There is a big difference between the two. Kindle format is majority format, and a minority type of format.

Besides, B&N uses the Nook format (EPUB+Nook DRM) and Kobo uses the KEPUB format, and most others use the Adobe format (EPUB+ADEPT). So they aren't really EPUB.

Dang! The myth of the unified EPUB standard, shot to pieces -- again!
