Different colors would've been cool... This kind of iOpus-feeling...
But honestly, me thinks it wouldn't be that hard to make 5 different color versions.

BTW: Being white, the Opus is perfectly ready to be redyed, spray-painted or kinda like...

Sadly Bookeen has made it look like a downgrade, while it's a sidegrade. Just by numbering the Mobi version 1.5 (making it a dead-end) and the ePub 2.0 they pictured the image of ePub being superior to Mobi (NO, I don't want to start the Mobi-ePub discussion again).

But to answer the question: Because ADE is a pain in the *ss (Linux anyone?), I need no DRM (who does anyway?), Mobi hasn't let me down so far and it comes with NEEDED dictionary support! And I don't care if the format I use is called Mobi, ePub or Shnidlwutz as long as it has adjustable fonts, font sizes, justification and dictionary support (apart from software tools and a stable reader on my device)...

BTW: I hate this format wars (Betamax-VHS, HDVD-Blueray, AAC-MP3 etc.) - it's all about money, the best one rarely wins and the customers pay the bill...
