Heh... One might think that a standard format would fix the sitch, but once EPUB files are available with DRM from either eReader or Adobe, I don't think the common format will help much. Then again, hoping for a single DRM solution doesn't seem to help either: most of the Kindle books use essentially standard Mobi DRM, but Amazon has still managed to partition off Mobi and Kindle customers into different stores with different books available.
I am becoming convinced that Gutenberg himself could climb out of his unmarked grave, just to give us a universal solution, and the major players would search for a way to fracture the market.
