that's what i mean when i say standard as well, with the added detail that it has also been adopted officially by the ebook industry as a whole in an attempt to gain some unity of file formats.

Perhaps support is not widely available yet, but I thought the thread was about formats that could be used for archive and as a source for conversions...

epub is already excellent for archive and conversion purposes and more and more devices are supporting it natively as well, so conversion is not always necessary and will be so less and less.
