Once Sony goes ePub, I do feel that they will have even more clout with publishers as they can then say "Look, we support ePub so your books at our store can be purchased by owners of Sony, Opus, iRex, Plastic Logic, Cool-er, Pocketbook, V3/V3 & clones, etc." Whereas if you go with Amazon, you just get Kindle owners which overall is a smaller number."
