HTML. Because although it's convertable to ePub, it'd be nice to be able to take the basic code & read it without shoving it through the conversion. (Same logic as RTF... why would anyone *need* RTF, when free conversion to PDF is possible?)

TXT. Same reason. And it's possible to build a txt renderer that looks great; txt is simple enough that arranging typography for it should be easy. I have friend who swears by Eucalyptus on his iPhone, and wishes he could read non-Gutenberg ebooks on it, because the typography is much better than Stanza.

And I like PDB, and have dozens of ebooks I made for my Clie that I currently can't read portably.

While I don't care for mobi, a lot of people have a lot of books in it. There's no reason for a device to not support a dozen non-DRMd formats.
