The e-reader market is stuck where the mp3 player market was a decade(ish) ago - Amazon have everyone's business, any other platform is of negligible influence, and Amazon are doing entirely as they please with every aspect of their device ecosystem from a near unassailable position, just as it was with iPods and iTunes for a few years. I'd love to suggest that it's going to change, that open, un-DRMed EPUBs will come to dominate, even that Amazon will add EPUB support to the Kindle platforms - but I'm not holding my breath. The publishing industry is even more luddite and change-phobic than the music industry ever was.
