You are still thinking along the lines of "every device should have their own close, proprietary format that they support" and that we need to translate from a common format to that closed, proprietary format.

That's what we basically have today - with everyone disagreeing on what the common format is.

What you need to be thinking is "This is the common format for all eBooks. If your device doesn't support it - and support it well - then I won't buy your device." You should also be thinking along the lines of "eBooks that aren't in the common format aren't worth buying."
