I switched to ePub not because I like it (I don't), but because it is easy to strip the DRM off of and convert to other formats. I fear not being able to read my library simply because a company abandons a previously used format (Sony, I'm talking to you here) or because I choose to change my device. I have read about ePub for a while now and I could never figure out why anyone would want to use that particular format as the industry standard. I suppose any standard is better than none.
That being said, I prefer lrf format. I think it looks better and the fact that when you turn from page 20 to 21 you actually go from page 20 to 21 rather than to page 20-21 and then to page 21. I have this weird idea that ebooks supposedly set up for the Sony Reader should actually work properly on the Sony Reader without having to mess with them, but maybe that's just me.
