I'm not saying epub is bad, I understand that it fulfills the ebook reading necessities for many people.
My problem is the second coming of jesus attitude towards epub and derision towards the Kindle for not adopting the "industry standard" when "open epub" really only applies to public domain books. It's not open if there's drm on top of it that all epub reading devices have a different version of.
