Second, a standard format must be selected.
Third, the current pricing scheme is way off. The price of any ebook should be approx half the cost of the cheapest paperback version.

I think once DRM is out of the way, a standard format won't matter so much, as long as it can easily be converted from one format to another. It's already easily doable from one (non-DRM, open) format to another.
I agree with the cost too... Right not it's WAY too expensive.
