Perhaps they didn't want to incorporate the extra expense of adding an Adobe Mobile license.

They only would have needed to license adobe Mobile if they wanted to support DRM. The firmware on my existing Jetbook uses FB reader so it supports quite a few formats quite well.
That being said, I suspect that the limited format support is because they probably pared the processor and memory of the unit down to increase battery life. Not a bad trade off... if they had chosen ePub instead of .fb2. If you are planning on reading mostly PG books, you probably loose nothing. If you want to read newer works though, you have to depend on well Calibre supports .fb2 (its my understanding, maybe mistaken that .fb2 support while functional, is not a super high priority for Calibre).
