I don't think it's even a matter for the 'casual user' or 'non-expert'. Regardless of what the capabilities are of the format, anyone who uses the Sony has to deal with the limitations and end result. ePub could write new and original novels based entirely upon my preferences, give me winning lottery numbers, and help me win at Scrabble, but if Sony doesn't allow any of these features to work, then to me and anyone else using a Sony reader, they're a non-issue.
The criticisms in this thread are about ePub as seen on the Sony readers. My knowing what ePub is capable of doesn't change that I don't like reading them on the Sony as compared to LRF, and I'd guess that goes for most of the other pro-LRFers here. I'd rather choose an inferior format that has a better implementation than a superior format with an inferior implementation.
