The big news yesterday was that Amazon acquired Lexcycle, a market leading company when it comes to the open ebook format ePub.

I love Lexcycles Stanza applications for Windows and Macs, that can convert documents to more or less any ebook format and read the very same formats.  I am also a frequent user of Stanza for iPhone, one of the most downloaded applications for that platform.

I am sure that Amazon will combine the knowledge it has from Mobipocket and Stanza to create market leading solutions for eBooks, both for Kindle and other reading devices.

Teleread speculates that Amazon might be fodder for an acquisition by Adobe or Google.
