Of all the obsolete formats that are reflowable, eReader is the first that needs to go. The HTML that comes from eReader is nasty stuff. And making eReader the dominant format on an eink device is going to make that device obsolete before even a single unit is sold. So basically, do we want an obsolete device before it's even sold? And if they are planning one muking about with the DRM to add eReader DRM to ePub, I hope that falls flat fast. We alread have a very good DRM on ePub from Adobe that can be removed. We don't need more DRM that has to be reverse engineered. Once eReader is available for Linux, the door will be open and we'll have to close it pretty darn fast to keep the manure that is eReader in the stable.
