Not really. We might like ePub the best, and there is certainly a lot of people who want it to be the standard, but it isn't, at least not in the USA. Amazon far out sales all the other eBook stores combined in the USA to the tune of 2 to 1, in other words mobi7 and/or KF8 format books make up 2/3 of the market in the USA. It is true that mobi7/KF8 can be easily converted to ePub, but it would be nice to have a 3rd party app that can render them natively and kick Amazon in the backside as far as features go.
