First, I think it's been said that the Jetbook Color has some form of mobile Winows installed on it.

Second, 7Z is only for windows. winrar is ported to all os'es including mac, and linux.

No, it's like an mp3 player that doesn't play wav files, no matter how popular they are, even if they make smaller files with the same sound quality.
Most readers can read uncompressed htmls, which in audio are like wav files.
epub is like zip, or mp3; while I would have chosen rar or 7z, which would translate to .wma or ogg as audio.
audiophiles would confirm wMA to be best for low bitrate, high compression, and ogg for high bitrate high compression.
