With The International Digital Publishing Forum newly released EPUB specification format based on XML, this is the new standard for eBook production and leading eBook device manufacturers.
Ectaco announced that the jetBook eBook reader will support both - most popular in US MobiPocket format and open EPUB format in Q1,2009. Many professionals think that this event will make jetBook the greatest eBook reading platform in the US and Europe
If we are basing what makes a great eBook reader based on what formats it supports, then we might as well give it to the V3 with more formats built-in then any other. The Jetbook is coming of age. But it's still playing catch-up and while it does that, we have other eBook readers going farther ahead. What should be done with the Jetbook to make it more popular is dump Mobipocket (if it's with DRM) and go to eReader as no device like this has eReader support (with DRM).
