That is proprietary, too, but at least Kindle has some significance in the market.

Stripping the DRM from an eReader .pdb file is a fairly trivial process. But even without stripping the DRM, the iPhone/iPod Touch eReader application is robust and a pleasure to read with and is nicely integrated with the eReader and Fictionwise websites.
Fictionwise also has a nice "Micropay Rebate" feature where they credit you back anywhere from 5% to 100% of the purchase price of the book as an in-store credit. I've been a satisfied Fictionwise customer for many years and have had little to no trouble finding reader software that would run on my platform of choice.
