I'm not sure why you disagree, the real tower of babel is DRM not formats. Format shifting is very easy to do.
My comment wasn't limited to the eReader format but most eBook formats. There are a lot of good software out there that can format shift most eBooks the only ones that aren't very good are converting from LRF/PDF.
It is very easy to take a MOBI file and convert it to any format one's device reads. However with DRM this is not the case. With different DRM schemes you cannot even read eBooks with the same format. For instance Amazon vs MOBI, devies that support MOBI cannot read Kindle formats even though they are the same format. Also now B&N is proposing a new DRM scheme for ePUB. Again we are going to see the same problem where devices that support ePUB cannot read B&N books because of DRM.
Is there a DRM shifter no, people have to strip DRM, these programs are not easy to use, for most, and hard to find.
Look at conversion programs. Calibre is extremely easy to use and is well supported.
