I remember Barnes and Noble mentioning this about the Nook, back in the days of the ST. Not because it supported so many formats, but because it used ePub, which was the open format used by everyone but Amazon.
It was part of why I bought a Nook over a Kindle. Though, in the end I only wound up buying from B&N. So clever marketing on their part.
