(Come on, I thought people were trying to consolidate everything into one format, not make new ones!!)

So, my question is as follows. What formats, other than Epub, should I offer my ebooks in? And what are the extensions, as I can convert them in Calibre, but it only tells me the file extension, and not the actual file type when converting. (I've got 0.6.x, as I can't run 0.7.x because my distro is too old.) Anywho, your input is greatly welcome.

Nook format is epub. You've already got that covered. For Kindle you need .mobi.
