One of the top reasons I hear made for an epub preference is that it allows the customer to shop around. But why do that, now, thanks to Agency pricing?
Try getting something else than epub of pdf from the French publishers... The kindle might fit your needs, but it don't fit my owns. Because there are way to little books available as mobi in my language.
Yeah, you can de-drm and convert, the the one time I did this, it wasn't too brilliant.

Get a bit outside the US ePub IS the standard almost everywhere in the world.
At least our publisher and shops had some common sense to use the same format. Having amazon with a format, B&N with another, sony with yet another, oh the mess of it ! That situation shouldn't exist. They should get around a table and decide on a format and DRM once and for all.
