I think Sony is less likely to support and/or work with other on another format simply because they plan their own bookstore - from which they presumably will take a cut of the action. iRex has repeatedly said they want to support legitimate copyright rights so will probably assist with deals (as suggested in FAQ eReader and Mobipocket have been mentioned) to increase available book sources for readers. For now at least, I have so much on the SIMM card (something like 900meg) that the debate can happily get worked out long before I run out of reading material.
