Indeed it is, but the implementation of ePub used by virtually every eBook reader on the market is Adobe's implementation of it (ADE and its mobile variants), for which the device manufacturer pays Adobe a large annual licence fee. Pretty much every commercial bookstore which sells ePub books does so using Adobe Content Server (ACS) and pays Adobe a very nice royalty fee for every book that they sell.
Adobe would have to be crazy to want to upset this
status quo, IMHO. They are raking in money hand over fist from ePub.
