I heavely rely on these resources. I think it is the same with you. Sometimes there are only two options. Use what is available, or don't use it at all and live with the consequences

Not valid comparisons.
I have several electric companies to choose from and they all use the same power grid.
I can choose my doctor and hospital, even though their treatment might be the same.
The internet is even the best example on what rlauzon means. Everyone can be part of it, and help make it what it is. There is not a single company or person that can pull the plug.
So while i agree with rlauzon, that an open standard, that can be implemented by anyone would be a great advantage, and he definately is right, that the mobipocket is a closed format, he is also trying to force happiness on people who do not want it.
And as long as such an open standard does not exist for DRM books, i am quite happy with the mobipocket format, or any other format my reader is able to display.
@rlauzon: You avatar suits you very well
