I can understand complaining about the power/battery issues where the device did not live up to the original advertised specs, but the ePub thing makes no sense to me. They never made any indications/promises that ePub would be supported. There are tons of proprietary eBook formats out there, no device supports them all. Sure it would be nice if they added support, but I don't see why you think that a company has an obligation to support a specific format that they never claimed would be supported. What about all the other formats that the iLiad doesn't support, do you feel entitled to those too?

To me, this is like suing a car manufacturer because your diesel pickup truck won't run on unleaded gasoline, or suing a stereo manufacturer because your CD player isn't compatible with MP3s.
