They could do this, especially if they wanted to offer some interactive services, e.g. the discussion features in DotReader. (In fact, Google might want to look at acquiring the DotReader project-- I think they could do some very interesting things with it. Anyone know anybody at Google to pass that suggestion along to?)
Or Google could just go with ePub, as someone has already suggested.
