I agree that the most important difference is DRM, but think that the other differences between (specifically) eReader and other formats are still noteworthy.
This is especially true where images are concerned-- eReaders 64kb, png-only image limitation is substantial; it means that whatever device is reading the book, the images will be simple and low-res. Converting from eReader won't upgrade the images to fill the potential of other formats.
eReader's
other formatting options are limited. A bit of work can translate them to more complex HTML coding, and of course font & point size changes could be added later, but a book that's offered in eReader format can't be easily upgraded to the more complex formatting that's possible in ePub or Mobi.
