iTunes doesn't use MP3 even though everywhere else does, and iTunes sells a lot more music than anywhere else. ePub/Amazon could work out the same way (i.e. ePub standard with Amazon still the dominant store not using the standard).
Any standard format will need to support animation, music, video, etc.
It's insane that we have to choose between devices that generally only work with books sold by a particular store. Even the advantage of a tablet with access to multiple stores has the drawback of an LCD screen (a deal breaker for some people) and multiple applications being needed by the various stores.
