But wow. That's big news. I wonder if it'll be a good thing or a bad thing.
Bad. In one corner, we have a major web retailer and its ebook format (Amazon/Mobipocket). In the other corner, we have a major bookstore chain and its ebook format. The ancient Greeks would understand this situation. When the gods fight a war, it's mortal man who suffers.

On the plus side, there is the chance they will weaken each other and Epub will come out ahead.
