Book publishers are missing a big opportunity to sell their books as eBooks and cut out the middleman.

Also of note, for the above reason Amazon has an interest in not supporting ePub on the Kindle as it would allow competition with the Amazon Kindle store.

It’s disappointing, really. Imagine if when the iPod was introduced that it could only play music from the iTunes store, and the iTunes music could not be played elsewhere than iTunes and the iPod. The tech media would have been furious. Yet that’s the current state of the eBook market.
