There is a major benefit and that is COMPATIBILITY. Since most eink readers will support ADE/ePub, it makes sense to go ePub. Also, most eBook shops outside the US sell ePub and ePub has become the dominant format outside the US. Also, libraries are starting to pick up on ePub so that means if your device supports ADE/ePub (as well as your library supporting overdrive eBooks and ePub), you can borrow ePub eBooks from the library and they will work. Since most devices don't support Mobipocket, having your library support epUb is very good.
