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.
I guess the limitations are only limitations depending on what you are reading.

I have beem using Ereader for a long time and I do not have any problems whatsoever with the reader. Granted there are no pictures in the books I read, so that may be the difference. Maybe this limitation you speak of is why they are adding Epub support.
