I guess I don't get why somebody would have 3 different readers in the first place. But, assuming that they did, I don't get why they would have to have a format that worked with all of them.
That aside, on a personal level, I don't have a need to go beyond the single LRX proprietary format I have, or the other open formats that I can also access (but which haven't used yet). So far, I haven't hit a lack of reading material - nor do I really expect to.
As for music - in my own case, I've never bought an electronic version. I've always ripped from the physical CDs I own. But, even if I did buy electronically, I doubt I'd be feeling a dearth of choice were I forced to a particular standard.
My reader will read ePub. So maybe this is a non-issue.
I was just trying to sort out the whole "3 readers" thing - why anybody would have 3 readers in the first place and, if they did, why it would be so bad if 1 (or even 2) of them couldn't read a particular book format - when at least one of them could so you'd still be okay. You're saying that you don't want different formats to force you to have 3 readers. That makes sense. I wouldn't like that either. But tompe posted that he already has (or the generic you already has) 3 readers (one of them a Kindle I presume). In that scenario, you aren't forced to get another one. You already have one that can read Kindle books. So I don't see the problem.
