Also, I am of the opinion that it is ridiculous to try to have one big giant format for every device. There is nothing wrong with using a perfected version of the current EPUB standard for e-readers only, and develop add-ons to that standard, to be used on tablets and other devices, as is necessary.

Unfortunately the "current standard" (ie ePub 2) lacks features which are essential in some markets. For example, it has no support for vertical writing systems which are essential for languages such as Chinese.
