Kindle vs. ePub - Which Will Go the Distance?

From Nate the Great, the Digital Reader: "So there’s another ePub activism session going on right now on Twitter, and it inspired this rant. I have a number of points about format, Kindle vs ePub, etc that I want to get off my chest. ... The Kindle format has Amazon behind it. ePub has a committee. When you match a savvy, innovative tech company with a being that has 100 mouths and no brain, who do you think will win?" But Nate cites other reasons as well. And he's on target, as usual.
