The main issue, like I explained on my previous post, is DRM. If Amazon, B&N, or Apple would sell ebooks without DRM protection, people would also stop complaining about formats.

That's all but irrelevant to what I said. It still fragments the market instead of combining it. It further continues to prevent kindle users from purchasing books elsewhere or in other formats. Amazon is only doing it because it will continue that fragmentation. (regardless of drm).
I will say though that if DRM did not exist then it is simple to convert from one format to another.
