EXACTLY! They would sell more books. I would buy from them, and I have a Sony. The open question is whether Amazon thinks they can really force their closed standard on the market and win, or whether they are making a "good faith" effort in order to satisfy the publishers.
The first seems delusional, but companies have done it before. The second seems likely, even if the first is also true. Pricing is a whole different issue (like selling ebooks for more than the hardcover version
).
