Well, their ebook format FAQ shows a nice list of the supported formats, so I think we can assume it will not just be PDF. On the other hand, the list does not include Kindle, so it may be out of date, or perhaps they just roll that into the MobiPocket category. The information is recent enough to list the Sony. Even if they do support other formats, though, hopefully they will put the books through a proper quality check before release. Once upon a time, such a step would be an assumption, rather than just a fond hope...

Interesting tidbit, though again this could be out of date, they note eReader as their top-selling format. Anyone know of any other publishers that release that information?
