So, if I got a Hanlin (or any other e-ink device for that matter), I will have to convert everything to mobipocket so I can read it on all my devices.

Also, I've been using mobipocket for a long, long, long time now. I'm really used to that application and everything will be compared to it (and so far, all other readers I've used, just don't support what I want them to support)
Ok, now I'M confused. I found this link http://www.infogridpacific.com/igp/AZARDI/ that says it's an ePub reader available for Windows. And also this link: http://www.epubbooks.com/ebook-reade...gital-editions that says Adobe Digital Editions has a flash player for both the Sony Reader and the desktop PC, and I know Adobe runs on Windows. Also, the site for FBReader says it runs on Windows and Unix systems, and reads ePub.

As for a bias against ePub, I keep running into the opposite, a bias TOWARD ePub! I agree that Sony's move to ePub is a good thing for the industry (less proprietary formats are always good news). However, I must say I prefer other formats over ePub.
