I would still like an answer to that question, but for the record, I have officially ordered now  The missus and I should have a lot of reading time ahead |
The large difference is that of standards.
ePub IS an open format defined by the Open eBook Forum of the International Digital Publishing Forum
AZW - The Amazon proprietary format. This is very close to the MOBI format sometimes with and sometimes without DRM. The DRM is unique to the Amazon Kindle.
MOBI - MobiPocket format, usable with MobiPocket's own reading software on almost any PDA and Smartphones. Mobipocket's Windows PC software can convert .chm, .doc, .html, .ocf, .pdf, .rtf, and .txt files to this format
