ePub is a format that can be output by Adobe InDEsign, which many publishers currently use to do markup and typesetting, and generate the files sent to printers to make plates. Given that, it's not hard for a publisher to produce an ePub volume, as part of the same operation that prepares the output for paper books.

And much as I wish iRex would support these formats on the iLiad, they wouldn't be enough. Here's hoping Bookeen or the iPhone pick up support for these two formats.

I don't think Bookeen is a big enough player to have a huge effect. The iPhone might be.
But lots of hardware exists that can display ebooks in one format or another. The bigger problem is publishers recognizing there is a market and producing them.
