Hi,
I was just thinking and pondering upon the file formats of the ebook readers, and thought a lot of my work has been to create/modify an HTML,to only later convert it to LRF for the Sony reader.

Here's where I got troubled, imagine if next year Sony would bring a new ebook reader on the market (with eg: larger screen or color or whatever) that no longer would display LRF files!
then a lot of the books on the forum will serve for the few of us who managed to snatch a PRS reader or the likes.. But that number would decrease over time.

Most of the books on the forum (apart from PDF books) come from html (sources); and get reconverted to .prc, .lit, .lrf, .... files.

Also,imagine soon there will be a new reader on the market with yet another fileformat.
I thought it better to have a standard library in HTML or .doc (perhaps every book; html/doc; compressed to .zip or .rar) and upload them!

.doc files are relatively easy to convert to html; but lrf files are not easy to convert to other fileformats. I mean, I suspect there'll be some layout issues which one would want to be able to edit in eg: HTML format, before converting it to the appropriate ebook format.

Besides once a book is in HTML,it can very easily converted to other formats!
It would literally need a user having a device, snatch the HTML,convert it,and upload the book.

What do you think? Would it benefit to do so or not?
