I hold no hope for unified ebook standard as there are even more variations in screen sizes and the technology itself is immature.

What does screen size have to do with anything? Part of the whole point of proper ebooks is it will work on any screen size.
PDF was popular because the software to read it was free, and it was available on all systems.
