At that point, with a truly standard format, the need to support a bunch of other formats would dwindle and disappear.
An any format-to-ePub converter would be GREAT... no question. Then any new devices could simply run ePub, and you could convert your entire existing library to it.

Assuming, of course, any existing DRM on your file allowed you to do the conversion...
