Does the Kindle DRM just dwarf it in terms of books sold? Will Apple's ePub DRM choice become the number 2? Or just splinter ePub even more?

I would be curious to know what percentage of the eBook book market sales are in ADE ePub now, and what that will look like a year from now.
From what I've seen, Kindle is about 60% in the US, but that globally it is a drop in the bucket.
