this makes perfect sense to me, and i would tend to trust O'Reilly's judgement in such matters. i think this quote really sums it up :

i really hope amazon will catch on and add epub support to the kindle. it's a great device and kindle users love theirs, and it does have some killer features. but no epub support means it could easily not even be a contender as ebooks gain momentum, which would be ironic given the role its played it giving them a valuable push.
