I think it could be. I mean if you get books from B&N & Kobo then you use things like Adobe Digital and Nook for the PC and Amazon uses Kindle for PC so there is some back and forth there just on a computer, but if the book is DRM free or you strip your copy (for your own use only of course) then you can read your books in whatever format you want instead of switching all the time. Far easier to load up a book in one set format than having to switch apps depending on format of a given book. Faster access too. If I leave an epub of "Call of the wild" as an epub then I either need a 2nd reader (which is expensive) or I have to take the time to convert the book before loading it to my Kindle (for reading on the go). Sometimes a person doesn't have that much time to waste. Far faster to convert ahead of time and just have to load the book than do things on the fly.
