I understand that, and I thought I made the same point in my post -- sorry if it was not clear. My real point, however, is that while the ePub file format is standardized, the DRM is not. Therefore, lots of people who have software capable of reading ePub files (like FBReader and Stanza) will not be able to read files from some of these sources, even though they are labeled "ePub."

Wouldn't it be great if the sources carrying books that could be used by any ePub reader were easily identified?
