Formats end users would read

Anything else is gravy for me. One thing that I feel is missing from the poll is what sort of files users would want the reader to read - djvu, doc, html, etc.
Dear LatinandGreek:

The reason we did not put favorite reading formats on the poll is that all of our devices have at least 20 formats already on them and we do add via firmware upgrades. However, on this forum, so many people seem to convert anyway that format is not so much a major thing to this crowd. We will maintain as many as we can get the factory to put on.

Your point is good; but we almost consider the Astak as the tops in available formats and it seems to be less of a point now.
