Not quite right. Using programs such as calibre you can change formats so that should be low on your list of concerns. Many ebooks are available in multiple formats though currently, most ebooks are published in epub and Amazon formats. I would suggest that any ereader and calibre would allow you to access "the most books".
When was the last time you saw a Rocket format ebook? A BBeB/LRF format ebook? A commercial FB2 ebook? A DjVu ebook? A pdb format ebook? If you are not Chinese, an Apabi format ebook? A Microsoft Reader ebook?
In the last decade, I've seldom used any format other than epub, mobi, AZW3 and pdf. Of these, pdf is the biggest pain since it is page oriented and is a pain to convert to other formats.

Pretty much any ereader is going to be able to access more books than you can read in your lifetime.
Simply re-iterating your demand for the most formats is not helpful. Unless you can be more specific as to your location, what type of device you are looking for (eInk, tablet, laptop, etc.), what price are you willing to pay, what types of material you are looking to read (fiction, non-fiction, tech manual, poorly OCRed crud you've downloaded from pirate sites over the years, etc.), you are not going to be able to get much useful information.
If you really feel that sharing your country or the types of books you are wanting to read is getting too personal, quit wasting our time and yours. Break out your best anonymous browser and do your own research.
To misquote, there ain't no such thing as "one true ereader" (with apologies to RAH and ML).
