they might be going back to their roots and then expanding from there as they've done with the jetbook, when it first came out there was no support for anything lol and now it supports everything you can imagine.
they might be working from the ground up but the design, functionality, and having the ability to order those school reading lists for free with the device is such a cool thing for 99 bucks which makes me stay with the jetbook.

Honestly, I can convert formats pretty easily. But conversion is usually lossy, since there won't be a one to one mapping of all the information in an ePub file to a .fb2 file.
Further the price does not impress me since for just a little bit more you can get other readers that support ePub and DRM.
I agree they may be going back to basics. I bought the original Jetbook when it didn't support much beyond txt, .fb2 and PDF, but that was also when the market was far less mature than it is now. These days if you are a reader whose name is not Kindle, you better support ePub.
