And there seems to be a ton of ebook formats as well.
This strikes me as a non-sequiter. Here's the original post I replied to:

I'm not sure why you would say this. We are on the edge of a unified standard: there is only one hold-out! That hold-out happens to be the largest seller of e-Readers in the world, making them impossible to ignore.
There can be thousands of e-Book formats. But every major e-Reader out there supports ePUB except the Kindle. That is very close to a standard. If Amazon would get on the ePUB bandwagon, we would have a universal standard.
