Yes, we still would have to worry about conversions. There's no chance in hell that Amazon is going with a ePub and there's also no chance in hell that Amazon is going to license their formats to anyone else. And then there is Apple who you won't get them away from iBooks to something standard. B&N with their DRM which most won't support because that would mean being able to by eBooks from B&N.
