But they're using essentially the same format on the Kindle. Just with a modified DRM.
I have to agree with an early post. I think in the long term Amazon wants to to be a content provider. Offering books for various devices in the AZW format, which they are in complete control over and don't have to share the profits with other ebook retailers (as they do with Mobipocket).
