One has to accept the realities of life. Multiple book formats do exist, whether we like it or not, and many commercial eBooks are only available with DRM.
MobiPocket is the clear choice for a supported DRM format, because it's supported by multiple retailers resulting in a competitive market. Handling plain text, RTF and HTML makes life a lot easier for the "non-techie" user who doesn't want to have to be bothered with converting formats.
PDF is, IMHO, irrrelevent for a reader intended for the fiction market.
