I think PRC and MOBI are probably the same format for the purposes of this table, perhaps use both names in the title. Also, Amazon's AZW e-books are MOBI but because of DRM they can only be read on the Kindle. So it is usual to call them AZW and treat them separately. For single-site (or few site) formats like this, it may be best to include an OTHER column with the actual name of the format in the cell.
Baen also provides a HTML version.
Manybooks provides all formats under the sun.
Mobileread uploads obviously has MOBI and IMP.
How should DRM be handled? One approach would be to use X for DRM-free and S (secure) for DRM-laden. Some cells would have both.
Should Secure Adobe e-books be called "PDF"? Perhaps the DRM vs DRM-free notation is enough, but there is way too much confusion about Adobe e-books.
Is the PDB column mostly eReader? A single column for multiple formats may be confusing.

I had many of the same comments. I put them in the talk section of the wiki page.
