Of course, there are a couple possible upsides.
The first is that Microsoft might finally fix the user interface of the reader software. It looks horrible on small screens.
The second is that MS might be planning to develop a device for the MSReader format. This might not seem like a big deal, but one problem with MSReader is device authorization. Every time you hard reset a PDA, it has to be reauthorized so it can read DRMed ebooks, and an account can only have 6 authorized devices. Each time it is reauthorized, that is one more device.
