Really it would need Adobe on board to make it work quickly and well enough with the existing ePub readers. At that point, it would seem to be a way to Sony, Nook, Books on Board, Kobo etc. to combine their mass to better against Amazon. Amazon would resist unless/until enough consumers considered device vendor lock out/in to be a bad thing. I doubt B&N would like it much either really. However both they and Amazon have committed to Ultraviolet already.
