Kindle in danger of becoming a Betamax - MarketWatch

Kindle in danger of becoming a Betamax - MarketWatch: "While the Kindle format (a special version of Amazon's e-book software Mobipocket) is specific to the Kindle, the ePub format will be supported by most new devices from other companies. It's also backed by the publishers, who don't like Amazon's dominance of the e-book business, and Adobe, whose Digital Editions e-book format uses ePub. 'I think Amazon has overestimated their power in the value chain,' says Gartner's Weiner. 'I don't think their proprietary format is going to have the ability to compete with ePub if that's offered by everybody else.'"
