Hello,
I happened upon a 2001 CNET Editors' Review of the RCA Rocket Ebook REB1100 Ebook reader and was struck by the following comment in it:

You can download only titles specifically released for RCA's readers, because the REB1100 doesn't support Microsoft Reader books or Adobe's e-book format.

This reminded me that I have not seen any discussion of Sony using a proprietary format (BBeB) and whether this will cause more problems along the lines of "HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray" or "VHS vs Beta".
Clearly Amazon will not be using BBeB in its Kindle ebook reader, and Amazon is the heavyweight of Internet book purchasing.
Thoughts ?
