Yeah, I don't think so. Heck, even Lonely Planet decided a few weeks ago to issue a ton of their guide books for the Kindle, a process that I'm sure required quite a bit of effort.
It's likely that the Kindle will capture a bit more market share in the US (and abroad), as both Sony and B&N face product shortages. If they do hit the 60% mark, any publisher who refuses to do business with Amazon solely because of the added conversion costs -- especially now that they don't have to convert to B&N's and Sony's proprietary formats -- is either dealing with a highly specialized audience, or not going to last long.
