Soon, we plan to also offer Fictionwise eReader format!!
Remeber: Mobipocket is exclusive and you cannot have other formats like ADE or eReader on the same device!

As you know, or ought to know, the EZ Reader doesn't really have full support for all the formats you claim. However the new firmware update improves support for EPUB dramatically. The previous firmware made EPUB files almost unreadable -- the formatting was terrible. The only flaw in the new firmware EPUB reader is that the zoom goes from very small to large, then super-large, then super-massive ... with no regular small or medium size.
PRC/MOBI files work quite wonderfully, the same in the old and new fw. (I don't use DRM'd PRC files.)
PDF support seems better in the new fw -- some PDFs that looked slightly "off" in the old version look better in the new version.
When I tried DJVU files at first, they crashed the device, but now they seem to be working quite well, so I'm happy with that.
HTML and LIT support is still completely awful, though. The formatting is badly messed up, and LIT files often close at random times.
FB2 support is okay but not really good. It splits words at the end of lines in completely random places. Otherwise I like it, but to me that problem is a deal-breaker, so I don't use the format.
RTF support is quite bad: formatting is gone completely, it appears. End of line punctuation is often placed on a separate line. Even the default device font is ignored. DOC support is just as bad, execpt the default font size is microscopic; the text is readable only in landscape mode. TXT files are displayed with badly done justification.
And don't even ask me about CHM files. Not good.
