Apparently you feel offended by my remark that the US and a lot of its inhabitants tend to act as they are the world.

No, my point was that you're making sweeping generalizations that aren't based upon any facts. Would love to see some hard data on why you think epub and mobi are the leading formats. You accuse Americans of thinking they're the center of the world, yet you're being very Euro-centric in your thinking.
As for U.S. inhabitants "acting like they are the world", according to
this article, the U.S. accounted for about 80% of global ebook sales in 2010. That is not a small marketshare.
