Yep.

Currently ebooks are selling to serious readers who are into gadgets.

Prices come down, and better readers come out, then you'll see more more and more serious readers get on board. A unified format would help a great deal expanding the market to avid readers as others have pointed out.

Then the final expansion is to casual readers who can get ebooks on their phones, pdas, and other gadgets going forward.
