One bad part of this approach is that MOBI and ePub (say) copies are separate, if a library wants to have both formats they must buy copies of both.
I do wish they'd change things so when an eBook is bought, all the different formats come with it. As it is, I've had to request Mobipocket because all the library had was the PDF.
