Even with the drive to "skew" the poll, by suggesting that people vote for EPUB or MOBI, PDF still won, with a very wide margin.
PDF already has wide public acceptance, and it will allow complex layouts and advertising to be served as intended. The new mobile SDK allows reflow for text material, so it serves fine small-screen devices. It's over, IMO.

Sadly
I have to agree, the "other" formats are not heavly supported, and I know in my case I use PDF as a container to convert to PRC (or whatever), so there is that aspect too.
I still think the Tech is a little way off for colour, and I think the 1st (even 2nd) Gen devices are going to be prohibitavly expensive and not as impressive as we need them to be. I don't want my books to be animated or have video capablities, I have a desk top and Netbook PC for that.
I still just want a book to be a book, good old beige background and Black text, whether it's E-ink or dead tree or LCD TTF....
