Official press release just came out:

Quote:
“Readers of eBooks will be the ultimate winners,” according to Bob LiVolsi, CEO of BooksOnBoard. “This shift to EPUB ensures that more titles will be available to be read on a variety of software. For now, eBook readers will need to download the free Adobe Digital Editions software, which renders EPUB on screen. Other formats will be able to render the EPUB standard in the near future, as will some dedicated e-ink readers with new firmware releases. EPUB makes eBooks more accessible to everyone.”

LiVolsi adds, “It is important to remember that this is a step forward. While a significant one, more needs to be done by the industry to accomplish ultimate standardization for our customers. We are very protective of our customers and their digital reading needs. We are working closely with Adobe, MobiPocket, and OverDrive – all significant contributors towards standardization.”
