Must be something I'm not quite getting as your statement seems, to me, to conflict with Wallcrafts. But don't bother trying to explain it-it's not that important. Books are available in the formats in which they're available & that's really all there is to it. Why doesn't matter and I'm glad if they are finally agreeing on a common format (and even more glad that it's ePub).
Personally, my books are all in mobi (*not* Kindle!) but that's for my convenience. I'm gradually converting my archives to ePub even though I keep my active library in mobi (I like the MobiReader features better than those of any other reader I've tried-so far, at least). My preferred reader can change at any time so I prefer a 'common' format for my archives-and for that, ePub seems best.
