It works nicely on Pam OS devices, too, and originated on that platform as Peanut Reader, a program created to read ebooks in the PML format created by Peanut Press, an early ebook publisher targeting Palm OS devices.

I only wish Sony would support it and it would be a neat and cheap way of taking the fight to the mobi/amazon Juggernaut...

Sony is supporting ePub and Adobe DE. The former will likely be significant down the road. Many major publishers use Adobe InDesign for markup, and InDesign can create ePub files, so ebooks can be created as part of the standard production process. We simply need more devices that support ePub as a "native" format.
Until that happens, ePub is a good base format, containing all of the data needed, and it shouldn't be all that hard to create conversion software that takes an ePub file as input and spits out a Mobi, Sony LRF, eReader, PDF, or other file in an automated fashion, for folks using devices that don't handle ePub files.
