That the same for ePub, now they have access to the Adobe SDK that provide well made ePub reader, why did they need to bother to make another ePub reader that will introduce bugs that the other may not have?

Because it seems that a lot of persons are not ready to completely drop MobiPocket to gain access to Epub.
I don't think that they should develop their own version, as it would not be worth the effort. But including a tool such as FBReader would allow use to choose our DRM flavour without having to abandon a format for which we might have several hundred ebooks already existing.
For those able to do it legally, liberating MobiPocket is much simpler than converting all Mobipocket to Epub.
This would allow to keep the entire MobiPocket collection and still have access to Epub.
