Kenny,

But would we be correct about that (making that claim)? Amazon has the lion's share of the market, last time I checked.

Of course, if you are saying the market ultimately decides, I agree. Not sure the market has decided to insist on ePub.... yet.

I guess I'm part of the problem... I buy titles from Amazon due to selection, price and a decent UI in their store. The fact that I've figured out how to scrub and convert makes that even more palatable.

So when an ePub store can offer a great UI, selection, pricing and... dare I dream... freedom from DRM, then that store can create the standard, once and for all.

I have high hopes for Apple, Ibooks and their store - but they have a very long way to go - they fall short in just about every area that is important in a store.
