Well, as I indicated earlier, the problem isn't file formats
The end difference between MOBI and EPUB and HTML and RTF and TXT are all mostly moot when there is no DRM at play. Therefore, it doesn't matter what reader you use, so long as the standards remain openly visible, and you can convert things back and forth at will. This is what not having DRM allows.
If you're going to be stripping DRM (which I do), then it really doesn't matter WHAT formats your device supports, so long as they support ONE that you can convert the stripped DRM into.
At that point, for me, it comes down to hardware.
Now, back to the original statement about not wanting an ipad, I loved my ipad. But I found I didn't use it enough, it hurt my eyes when reading, and much of what I did use it for is what I use my iphone for now.
