Exactly, I have now a Cybook, a N810 and a phone which I can read books on. I prefer not to bring the Cybook when I go to a pub for example but I would like to continue to read the current book without much trouble on the bus to the pub or when waiting for other people. So if we have a standardized open format and a standardized open method to synchronize pages that would be possible.

This is just one example. When you have open and standardized formats new ways to do things will appear and the creative process will be stimulated.
