Amarican or not, it's an open format

Tired of hearing this. Epub has an open standard... yes. But not one of the various devices or apps that support epub - nor even the various publishers of epub content - adhere to that standard in any open "we are the world" kind of way. They all put their own twists on the standard. So what you have are 15 bastard flavors of epub floating around.
Having said that... I just don't care. I buy what I want, where I want, when I want. Epub, mobi, whatever... the world's big enough for both.
I don't share it, but at least I
understand the need for wanting someone else to "like what you like". But I've never understood people that seem to have an inexplicable need for others to "hate what they hate".
