The problem there is eReader. The format is abysmal. The format is designed for palm sized screens. Most eReader eBooks have no paragraph indents and line spaces between paragraphs. This ruins the reading experience. Makes it not nice on a larger screen. What would be nice is to have Mobipocket as the main DRM format and then have eReader/LIT/BBeB as non-DRM formats available.

When you mention HTML, is this a FULL implementation of HTML? Will we have true folder/subfolder support?
