yes, exactly.

hm, the
International Digital Publishing Forum, which is the International Trade and Standards Oranization for the Digital Publishing Industry and whose mission is defining
epub, the new industry standard format, might disagree with you on that. and more and more publishers are publishing in epub, sometimes exclusively in epub.

besides, which program formats a book in epub format?(just out of lack of knowledge I ask)...
I know Book designer can create LRF files, and I heard that the Sony reader can read epub, but I don't think I've seen it so far.
Is it a format, when I have it on my sony reader, I can copy and read it straight from a kindle, cybook, iliad or Jinke/Bebook system?

as others have said, Sony 505 and 700 series can read epub natively, no conversion necessary. iphone and ipod touch can read epub natively using an app like stanza. epub can also be easily converted to other formats like mobipocket for cybooks or kindles, etc., particularly now that epub drm has been cracked.
please read at least the first page of this thread to find out more about epub.
