I think a better analogy is if you went out and bought and electric car and then got mad at the gas stations because their gasoline didn't power your car. It's the same thing with the ebooks -- some ebooks only work with some readers.

It's certainly an issue we all struggle with though. I would hope that with time things will become a little more standardized, but only time will tell.
