I was about to say the same thing.. Nicer, perhaps.

But it's true. Even less than mp3 vs ogg is mobi or whatever vs. epub.

It's not about what is BETTER, it is about what the industry leader goes with.

I prefer ePub as a format, and Amazon not being in the global market helps give it some legs up.. But I don't see any reason to think there is anything that will become 'the future' unless it is a magnification of current trends or we have some reason that that trend won't continue.
