Frankly, I do not know which is the standard format and which will prevail. I got the Kindle on others' recommendations. I buy books, not a huge number each year but I do buy. My partner would definitely not be interested in the Kindle. She would not be interested in being limited to classics and the occasional freebie. She does NOT buy books - she borrows multiple books weekly from the public library. She has no problem waiting on popular titles. So if she were to switch to a reader at all, it would have to be one that supports the library general standard which I take to be epub. She would wait for popular titles just as she does for pbooks. Spending money on books for the one-time read is not in her blood. She does buy boxes or bags of books from library sales but then redonates them back or to a shelter or some such.
