Yes, but many of the worlds most important books are not included in this category... and most of the worst-selling and insignificant books in the world
are. Quantity is not a sufficient argument in this case... unless novels are to cease to be considered books... as such.

If I were a betting man--and alas, I am not--I would bet that the first ePub of a technical book you purchase would also be your last.
Such books might not even be feasible to make as PDFs for 6" screen size... and they are certainly not realistic to make in HTML in a way to render well on screens of such size.
Even here on MobileRead, any PG books that have the simplest of tables seem to be ePub-ized/Mobi-ized with those tables cleverly gotten around (or omitted?)... or so it seemed to me in the past. I do not recall the specific titles I noticed this with though.
