You are right, but converting files for me is not a problem, not a chore, I will do so if I need to.
so far I have nothing on kindle that I can't get on Epub that I want to read.

I never said their was not, i know plenty of people with a Kindle and I think it is a nice bit of kit and they get a load of free books, after all a lot fo them don't have that much money to keep buying them.
There are just more sites with free epubs.

“I do agree that it would better to have one standard file format that all readers accepted though – would be good to use a Kindle on a different store easily and vice versa using the other readers on Amazon.”
I agree, i also wish they would bring the prices of e-books down, sometimes they are the same price as the physical book
