Does anyone else wish E-readers were just devices you put a universal book format onto, like MP3 players are now? No shitty on-device stores that make one device better than another, establish a monopoly, and drive prices up.

Adobe wanted that with their epub format, to be the one ebook format to rule them all, but Sony and Amazon balked at that idea instead opting to use their own formats LRF for Sony and Amazon bought Mobi and renamed it AZW. Sony eventually got on board with epub though.
