No DRM is not a real reason, because it doesn't depend on format. So, which is its advantage over other formats? For a reader, remember, not a techie.

One really big advantage for the reader is that because a number of readers support or will support ePub, it means that you can take your ePub books across devices. Lets say you installed the ePub firmware for your Gen3 when it eventually comes out and then convert your eBooks to ePub. If say Sony comes out with a large screen reader and you decide you want one, you can keep your ePub eBooks and read them without having to convert to some other format. Also, if your reader supports ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) and your local public library supports ePub eBooks, you can borrow them from your local library.
