I'm told that ePub is the format of the future, and I have no reason to doubt that. But what I'm interested in is books that I can read now, without the formatting getting (too much) in the way. When we get a majority of beautiful and readable ePubs I will change back. For the moment I'll stick to mobi and just convert the epubs I buy.
One last point I just noted and added in my previous post above - the TIRWAL Triple-Boot firmware (v2.9) for Hanlin V3 devices apparently supports Mobi & ADE DRM - I have not tested this but I'm sure there are some MR members that can give some feedback of how it is...
