For example, if the ePub used font embedding to do it like the pBook did. If the ePub is done well, I can see reviews comparing them. And heck, I can see kids wanting their parents to then get a reader that isn't a Kindle.
So Amazon switch to ePub with their own DRM. You still can't read their books, they still can't read yours. What has changed? The format issue is a red herring. It is DRM which prevents interoperability. Apple use ePub, but their books are less accessible to you than Amazon's.
