Based on many past comments by others, it is an issue for some.

I'm hip. Personally, I think the publishers should just send you the ePub file... and let you, the consumer, feed it into whatever device you have that has preloaded conversion SW on-board. That way, if you want to read on two devices with two different formats, the publisher doesn't have to be bothered sending you 2 files... it's your job to convert it to whatever you use. And in the future, if you get a new device, just take out the original ePub and convert at will.
Not that it would kill the publishers, but the less complication for them, the more likely they'll provide us with value-added service. Trust me, I'd much rather send everyone an ePub file, then convert my books to half a dozen formats as they come out.
