I appreciate the link to the ereader2ereader tool. I'll try it when I get home later this evening.
It's interesting your thoughts about mobi considering your efforts with the ereader2ereader tool. It leaves me with an impression that you are impartial to a particular format.
As you've stated and I agree with, I want to work with the format that provides the most flexibility.
"lit" is indeed very easy to work with. My sense about "epub" is that it's the standard but hasn't been widely adopted yet and tools aren't widely available yet.
When buying from the stores, I tend to choose "mobi" so I don't have to do any conversions for my blackberry. If mobi is not available, then it's "lit" or "epub" if those versions are available. "ereader" format tends to be my last choice if I have no choice and really really want the book.
I still have several purchased "ereader" ebooks that I bought when I had a palm device several years ago. I'm glad that I can preserve these books and not lose them because I don't use a palm device anymore.

For me it's not so much which format is better but which format provides the most flexibility with the least effort.
For me that is MOBI for several reasons
Mobipocket make great reading clients with great features set making reading a real pleasure.
They also make great tools for creating MOBI files.
The community support for MOBI is great, there are a good amount of tools that allow exporting to different formats or even creating MOBI from different formats.
Also the tools are more reliable and do a better job converting without losing information.
With eReader that is not the case, so far the reading clients are not as sophisticated as Mobi and the community support does not seem to be as complete as MOBI.
