So ... more than Amazon executives know the truth: so do the mainstream publishing houses.

You can debate Amazon's degree of leadership but surely there is no credible evidence or credible industry source saying Amazon is not way out ahead. Even sources like Forrester place Amazon 3 or 4 times ahead of Sony or B&N.

There was also the analyst a few days ago (about ebooks being 6% of the book market) who pegged Amazon's share at 90%. That seems high since both Apple and B&N claim they have 20% each. Amazon themselves have said they have 70-80% of the ebook market from what I remember.
