No, ebooks are the biggest publisher flop. The prices are too high and many publishers want DRM protection. The high prices invite piracy for obvious reasons; DRM likewise as it prevents you from moving from one reader/device to another.

Format? Who would care if they got rid of DRM. There would soon be plenty of web-sites that would convert them from one format to another. Or they would be sold in good old HTML.
