But, with the greatest respect, it's really not the case, is it? Yes, the ePub file format is widely used, but the problem is that there are three, mutually incompatible, DRM mechanisms in widespread use for ePub books, so if you want the big-name authors you describe, you still face "lock-in" unless you are prepared to remove DRM, and perhaps not even then, given that one of the three ePub DRM mechanisms can't (currently) be removed.
