I agree its a bit frustrating as most of the Books I buy are also in the eReader format.
However, as RobertB has always been pretty open about suff like this I'll assume that if it was not happening, it'll have been mentioned. Thought he mentioned recently, his company is not very happy with him being a little too open at times so he's probably not going to tell us much about ongoing negotiation and development.
Still the takeover of eReader by B&N, and the fact that no other dedicated device supports eReader at present probably means that a lot more work has to be done to develop device specific support, while taking care to ensure that the core code is easily portable to new devices as they come along.
Also keep in mind that eReader was talking about moving to ePUB as well, but with their own DRM, you have nice recipe for slowing things down.
