Also, if Adobe keeps it up, it doesn't seem unlikely that their other tools will also support this format: InDesign, say. Noone would get InDesign to produce OEBPS books (or whatever the format is), but if I can take the files for a printed book, done with InDesign, and produce a e-book from them in a well-supported format, conversion will be much less of a hassle than if I have to re-scan the pages. I won't hope that Acrobat will allow saving into this format ... at least not for a while.
