I know everyone is saying Amazon will be loathe to do this, because they want to sell Kindles...but I bet they'd rather sell a crapton of eBooks than Kindles. I think the Kindle is meant more to jumpstart the eBook industry than metamorphose Amazon into a hardware manufacturer ala Apple.
Speaking of Apple, let's use them as an example. They kept the iPod locked to the iTunes store--and vice verse--until they were the only viable game in town. Then they ditched DRM--enabling customers to use the iTMS with any device. This will only broaden their audience.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon eventually starts selling books for other readers. But, yeah, that's a prediction and a hope. And the sooner the better
