I understand that, but still, ePub is certainly
not an obscure format, and I would think they would benefit from supporting it. They could certainly sell lots of eBooks in the format to non-Kindle users at the least, (or is there a DRM problem there?) and since that is where the profit lies, selling lots of books..... But, this discussion is about DjVU, a format that very few people seem to know about, myself included.
Oh well, I am very happy with my Kindle and before I chose the Kindle, I knew that it didn't support ePub, wasn't large enough, screen-wise, to make PDFs readable, (I'd never heard of DjVU, so that format was not part of my purchasing decision,) I knew that it didn't allow borrowing from libraries, etc. I bought it after doing lots of research so I really have no regrets about my purchase choice.
Hopefully alexibm will be able to exchange his/her Kindle 3 for something more to his/her liking.
