If you look at all the devices that handle AZW and all the devices that handle ePub, you will find there are more devices that handle ePub. So that clearly makes Amazon not a market leader in any sense of the word. Now if you add in iPod Touches/iPhones that still doesn't help Amazon because ePub is also viewable with Windows/OS X.
And I am talking world wide, not just the US. The market is not just the US.
Let's say for sake of argument that Amazon has sold more readers then any other brand. There are still a larger number of reader (when combined) that will handle ePub. So as far as eink readers go, AZW is the #2 format and ePub is the #1 format.
