No it's not speculation. It's been widely addressed that it's going to be open source epub.

"Rowling's site will be the exclusive sales channel for the Potter e-books, bypassing traditional e-book stores like Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes and Noble's Nook store and Apple's iBookstore. The Harry Potter series will be published in the open-source e-Pub format, which is compatible with any electronic reading device, including the iPad."
There are multiple articles on the subject online in various news agencies and reposted by bloggers as well as posters on MR.
