No argument there. I knew (pretty much) what I was getting into. I had just hoped that Bookeen (having gotten the nod from Baen) would have offered a better choice than between "proprietary" and "page-layout" formats.

What free tools are those?
Sorry. I've been reading Lessig's
Free Culture lately.
Mobipocket tools are not "free" as in "libre". They are free as in "gratis".
While tompe's work are "free" in both senses, his work will require a great deal of my time to get working correctly - effectively making the tools not "free" as in "gratis".
On top of that, giving support to a proprietary format is pretty much the dumbest thing we can do as eBook readers. That sends the wrong message to eBook vendors - namely that we will accept proprietary formats.
