Having it in an easy-to-read, legible format with a good font is important. And that is something I can get from ePub.
There's been discussion of this recently, where people have been getting ebooks with OCR errors.

The books I got from Sony tend to be fairly good on the whole. And one thing I just thought of, is will the sony ebook library software largely go the way of the dodo with ADE replacing it, or will you still be able to buy, download, and transfer to your reader just like you can now. I really am not a big fan of ADE. I don't think ebook library is any better, but it is easier to use, especially when buying and downloading books.
