Could always go for the good old reliable .txt format....oh no doesn't offer fonts or formatting. In that case we could use .txt, utilise it with a .xml wrapper in combination with .css, zip the files up and release it as a format we'll call Electronic Publication, referred to a EPUB..............oh wait

Perhaps we're taking the wrong approach with the lock-up with .mobi. Could be a feature as part of the format, you know a health and safety feature, locks up when you've read for too long - makes you stop reading and restart the device and have a short break. Think of it like the Wii and the 4 hour alert that comes up after constant playing
