Give up silly comparisons of ebook/pbook dichotomy to 8-track/CD! It doesn't work, doesn't make sense, and doesn't translate, and you know better.

Did you actually read what I said? I said it would be up to the publishers and the publishers don't do AZW. Also, I'm pointing out the history of content and containers. Nobody got free upgrades to all their old media to new media just because it came out in a different container. So why would Amazon do this for you? Can you tell me one company that said "Ok, we have a new container for old media. Let's give it away to everyone who purchased the old container.: The answer is NOT A SINGLE ONE.
