The move caps off a series of
ebook moves by Dymocks including the recent announcement that they'll begin selling
ebooks from their website, a partnership with Aussie
ebook distributor eBook.com to
support a new format for reading
ebooks online, and the installation of in - store kiosks in their flagship George Street, Sydney store to let buyers browse and buy
ebooks.
If the Kindle did
support EPUB, especially Adobe EPUB, then Amazon would easily become the dominate ereader
distributor and
ebook distributor — then they would start to have too much of a monopoly over the industry.
