this is a very interesting discussion. i'm pleased to see that there are
several people here who recognize the correct issues to be pondering.
i also think this demonstrates that one cannot judge an e-book _format_
in the absence of both its _viewer-programs_ and _authoring-tools_...
if a particular format has viewers that are powerful and beautiful, and
authoring-tools that make the creation task simple, it's a good format.
if not, then that format isn't gonna be much good to people...
i'd like to see _that_ as a possible answer on this poll...
(interesting to see that the answer that is closest to that
is the one that's leading the poll...)
